Scopus is a scientific abstract and citation database, launched by the academic publisher Elsevier as a competitor to older Web of Science in 2004. [1] An ensuing competition between the two databases has been characterized as "intense" and is considered to significantly benefit their users in terms of continuous improvent in coverage, search/analysis capabilities, but not in price.
The same is true for more comprehensive databases such as Ulrich's Web which lists as many as 70,000 journals, [22] while Scopus has fewer than 50% of these, and WoS has fewer than 25%. [12] While Scopus is larger and geographically broader than WoS, it still only covers a fraction of journal publishing outside North America and Europe.
Logo in 2014.

The Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) is a citation index produced since 2015 by Thomson Reuters and now by Clarivate.According to the publisher, the index includes "peer-reviewed publications of regional importance and in emerging scientific fields".
The impact factor (IF) or journal impact factor (JIF) of an academic journal is a scientometric index calculated by Clarivate that reflects the yearly mean number of citations of articles published in the last two years in a given journal, as indexed by Clarivate's Web of Science.
The h-index is an author-level metric that measures both the productivity and citation impact of the publications, initially used for an individual scientist or scholar. The h-index correlates with success indicators such as winning the Nobel Prize, being accepted for research fellowships and holding positions at top universities. [1]
