The Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) produced highly
respected citation databases in all major subject areas, viz.
SCI, SSCI and A&HCI. ISI produced them in print format as
well CD-ROM format in a regular interval as periodicals.
In print format, there had been a three-part index for each volume
of SCI or SSCI, namely Source Index, Subject Index and
Citation Index. In the Source Index, full bibliographic
information for the citing author and citing work is given. In
the Citation Index, works cited during a given year are listed
alphabetically by the name of the author cited, followed by the
names of the citing authors. In the Subject Index called
Permuterm Subject Index, significant words in the title of an
article are listed.

Searching in WoS 1. Scopus is a subscription-based proprietary database
produced by Elsevier B.V. founded in 2004

2. Searches can be done on fields including the abstracts

and keywords, but also on the references.

3. As in December 2013, Scopus covered over 20000 peer-

reviewed journals, including about 2,600 open access
journals, 390 trade journals, 370 book series, and 5.5
million conference papers.

4. It also covers “Articles-in-Press” from more than 3,850

journals, with forthcoming papers in different journals.

5. Scopus has larger coverage of peer-reviewed journals

than its competitor Web of Science.

journal evaluation and comparison such as citations count, articles details of an institution, in terms of articles published, citations received, and
details of journals in which articles were published (top 15 journal titles),
count, self-citations, uncited articles, JCI (Journal Current Index,

Page Rank
It is a measure of scientific influence of scholarly journals that accounts for
both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or
prestige of the journals where such citations come from. The SCImago
Journal & Country Rank is a portal that includes the journals and
country scientific indicators developed from the information contained in
the Scopus® database (Elsevier B.V.). These indicators can be used to
assess and analyze scientific domains.
It uses algorithm Google PageRank™. This indicator shows the visibility of
the journals contained in the Scopus® database from 1996. PageRank is
an algorithm used by Google Search to rank websites in their search
engine results. PageRank was named after Larry Page, one of the Mathematical PageRanks for a simple network, expressed as percentages. (Google

corresponds to a damping factor of 85%.) Without damping, all web surfers would
eventually end up on Pages A, B, or C, and all other pages would have PageRank
zero. In the presence of damping, Page A effectively links to all pages in the web, even
though it has no outgoing links of its own.

Eigenfactor
Full list of SJR indicators available for journals vis-à-vis
countries. Eigenfactor: The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and
Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total
importance of a scientific journal. In order to measure the importance
of a journal to the scientific community, they created the Eigenfactor
metrics, which are designed to reflect the prestige and influence of
scholarly journals. The theory behind Eigenfactor metrics is that a
single citation from a high-quality journal may hold more value
than multiple citations from more peripheral publications.
Article influence Score: The Article Influence score measures
the average influence of articles in the journal. To calculate the Article
influence score, the Eigenfactor score of a journal is divided by the
number of article in the [Link] influence Score =
Eigenfactor score of a journal / number of article in the
journal
