ABSTRACT Nowadays, the world?s scientific community has been publishing an
enormous number of papers in different scientific fields. In such
environment, it is essential to know which databases are equally
efficient and objective for literature searches. It seems that two most
extensive databases are Web of Science and Scopus. Besides searching the
literature, these two databases used to rank journals in terms of their
productivity and the total citations received to indicate the journals
impact, prestige or influence. This article attempts to provide a
comprehensive comparison of these databases to answer frequent questions
which researchers ask, such as: How Web of Science and Scopus are
different? In which aspects these two databases are similar? Or, if the
researchers are forced to choose one of them, which one should they
prefer? For answering these questions, these two databases will be
compared based on their qualitative and quantitative characteristics.
