 ABSTRACT AND CITATION DATABASE
 Web of Science

Web of Science (previously known as Web of Knowledge) is a website which provides

subscription-based access to multiple databases that provide comprehensive citation data for many
different academic disciplines. It was originally produced by the 
Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) and is currently maintained by Clarivate Analytics
 (previously the Intellectual Property and Science business of Thomson Reuters[1]).s científicas

 Scopus

Scopus is Elsevier’s abstract and citation database launched in 2004. Scopus covers nearly 36,377

titles (22,794 active titles and 13,583 inactive titles) from approximately 11,678 publishers, of
which 34,346 are peer-reviewed journals in top-level subject fields: life sciences, social sciences, 
physical sciences and health sciences. It covers three types of sources: book series, journals, and 
trade journals. All journals covered in the Scopus database, regardless of who they are published
under, are reviewed each year to ensure high quality standards are maintained. Searches in Scopus
also incorporate searches of patent databases.[1] Scopus gives four types of quality measure for
each title; those are h-Index, CiteScore, SJR (SCImago Journal Rank) and SNIP (
Source Normalized Impact per Paper).

 ScienceDirect

ScienceDirect is a website which provides subscription-based access to a large database of

scientific and medical research. It hosts over 12 million pieces of content from 3,500 
academic journals and 34,000 e-books.

SCIELO.
● SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online) is a bibliographic database, digital library, and cooperative 
electronic publishing model of open access journals. SciELO was created to meet the scientific
communication needs of developing countries and provides an efficient way to increase visibility and
access to scientific literature Originally established in Brazil in 1997, today there are 16 countries in the
SciELO network and its journal collections: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, 
Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Uruguay, and Venezuela.

● SciELO was initially supported by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) and the Brazilian 
National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), along with the 
Latin American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information (BIREME). SciELO provides a
portal that integrates and provides access to all of the SciELO network sites. Users can search across all
SciELO collections or limit by a single country collection, or browse by subject area, publisher, or journal
title.

 SCImago Journal Rank

The SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) indicator is a measure of the 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 the citations come from. A journal's SJR is a numeric value indicating the average
number of weighted citations received during a selected year per document published in that journal
during the previous three years. Higher SJR values are meant to indicate greater journal prestige.

The SJR indicator is a variant of the eigenvector centrality measure used in network theory. Such measures
establish the importance of a node in a network based on the principle that connections to high-
scoring nodes contribute more to the score of the node. The SJR indicator has been developed to be
used in extremely large and heterogeneous journal citation networks. It is a size-independent indicator
and its values order journals by their "average prestige per article" and can be used for journal
comparisons in science evaluation processes. The SJR indicator is a free journal metric inspired by,
and using an algorithm similar to, PageRank.
