Scopus is not longer using the Impact factor of Thomson-Reuters. They introduced last December the new CiteScore journal metric. This is a new metric computed as
CiteScore = Number of citation in 2016 / (number of documents from 2013 to 2015)
The CiteScore gives in general a number higher than the Impact Factor.

Good morning, excellent post as usual, I do agree with you, these sites are very trusted and powerful and it gives full details about journal evaluation metrics.
You can do that if the journal is included in Journal Citation Report (JCR) of Web of Science (WOS). Example: journal Applied Soil Ecology - Elsevier, IF 2.786 for 2016 in JCR. Also you can view IF of the journals for all years subscribed by your institution.
CiteScore™ metrics are a new standard to measure serial citation impact. Comprehensive, transparent, current and free, CiteScore metrics help you to analyze the impact of all serial titles – including journals – in Scopus.
Scopus does not provide Impact Factor, it provides citecore and SJR. impact Factor is provided Clarivate Analytics; previously known as Thomson Reuters.
CiteScore value is an analogy of Impact Factor JCR. However, I would strongly suggest to check it directly at Scopus website. My suggestion is explained by experience of work with ScimagoJR website, where I found serious incorrections (e.g. an erroneous indication of Q3 instead Q1 for one of journals indexed in Scopus).
