Just want to know the difference among clarivate analytics, scopus and Thompson & Reuters indexed journals.
Thanks
There are two main citation index system: Scopus (owner is one of the main four world publishers - Elseiver); and WOS (Web of Science), initialy - Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), after that belonged to the company Thomson Reuters Corporation, and now - to Clarivate Analytics. Scopus indexes about 60% of scientific journals (including all Elseiver journals), and WOS - about 40%. Partially these lists overlap. In addition, there are national citation index systems (for example - Russian RINTs, which takes into account articles in Russian; also Indian, Serbian, Korean and Chinese ones exist, as I know). Also huge amount other relatively small systems exist. Scopus and WOS make money on selling of search results, basically - by subscription of large universities, etc. In my private opinion, WOS is more reputable, but Scopus seen by me in experiments with frankly predatory journals. Last decade other systems appear, which work only with internet sources: for example Google academia.
The difference between these systems is only in the selection of the list of cited journals. Each of these systems has its own (but, in principle, similar selection rules, the main thing is the presence of a peer-review).
Scopus and WOS are quite adequate in the case of natural sciences (for me personally, there is not much difference in which language to present physico-chemical problems - in Russian or English, but people writing about Russian literature in English (for getting into citation index systems) cause me surprise).

It is also called as ESCI( Emerging Sources Citation Index) Journals. ESci Journals are open access, peer reviewed, international scientific journals. The portfolio of journals spans all areas of scientific research. ESci Journals Publishing is an Open Access Publication model enabling the dissemination of research articles to the global community.
The list of journals comes under ESCI given in below link:
