Medline is since 1960 following certain criteria for inclusion of journal for indexing. Similarly, newly initialed index approaches have their own. Does it in any manner a paper published in other (new) indexing other than Medline inferior? The other index for example: indexed with Caspur, CNKI , DOAJ, EBSCO , ASAP, Google Scholar, Index Copernicus, MANTIS, National Science Library, OpenJGate, PrimoCentral, ProQuest, SCOLOAR, SIIC databases
Thanks Jens Peter for comparative statements related to my question as the indices are meant for different purposes. I understand you as a researcher working in this area of science. Can we have a quantitative factor such as impact factor so that they are comparable with respect to each other gets added up single number that assesses the progress of the scientist working in an area? .
