Hi Avishag,
Ruth A. Pagell might be of great help concerning your question:

She maybe sums up all necessary aspects of your question and was relevant for an equal decision we had to make at our University regarding research ranking: Quality before quantity - we preferred TR. Hope I could help you a little.
Best, Heiner
Hi Avishag,
I do believe that quality first, published in high impact and widely visibility and sell ur work worldwide, I would prefer quality journal like TR, then Scopus, and later quantity journals.

Thanks Mr. Boettger and Mr. Abu Reza, you have just confirmed what I was thinking too.

Although there is some overlap in their respective journals, Clarivate Analytics, producers of the Web of Science (WoS) and InCites ranking services, and Scopus list different journals.
WoS produces 2-year and 5-year impact factors, whereas Scopus produces a 3-year impact factor, aka CiteScore.
Hi,
It seems that the question who is more fit to evaluate the academia is not so much that of citations' window but about the question; which database is selective and which one is more inclusive.In my opinion, In times of information overload, the selectivity is a better choice.
Both Scopus and Thomson Reuters/Clarivate Analytics/WoS are selective regarding inclusion of journals in their calculations of impact factors.
