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.

CiteScore (CS) of an academic journal is a measure reflecting the yearly average number of citations to recent articles published in that journal. It is produced by Elsevier, based on the citations recorded in the Scopus database. Absolute rankings and percentile ranks are also reported for each journal in a given subject area.
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.
Web of Science. The Web of Science (WoS; previously known as Web of Knowledge) is a paid-access platform that provides (typically via the internet) access to multiple databases that provide reference and citation data from academic journals, conference proceedings, and other documents in various academic disciplines.
The index is available online within Web of Science, [11] [12] as part of its Core Collection (there are also CD and printed editions, covering a smaller number of journals). [13] The database allows researchers to search through over 53 million records from thousands of academic journals that were published by publishers from around the world.
The Social Sciences Citation Index is a multidisciplinary index which indexes over 3,400 journals across 58 social science disciplines – 1985 to present, and it has 122 million cited references – 1900 to present. It also includes a range of 3,500 selected items from some of the world's finest scientific and technical journals.
PubMed. PubMed is a free database including primarily the MEDLINE database of references and abstracts on life sciences and biomedical topics. The United States National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the National Institutes of Health maintains the database as part of the Entrez system of information retrieval.
