I would like to have a corpus of bibliographic data extracted from a single database.
Search for review papers, that would be a great way to start studying new subjects. Also, I suggest you reading the literature review of Ph.D. theses.
In truth, I do not know if such a database exists. However, it would be interesting to carry out research by fields (social and human sciences; sciences and technology), and by disciplines. It seems difficult to me to find a basis outside of a certain disciplinary categorization. I will be happy to be informed of the answers to your question and of your results.
Unfortunately, there is no such database. No institution would be able to create it. Even bibliographic databases for specific fields demand great efforts, and nevertheless they are usually not complete.
Scopus launched in November 2004. It is the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature, featuring smart tools to track, analyze and visualize research. With 22,800 titles from more than 5,000 international publishers, Scopus delivers the most comprehensive view of the world’s research output in the fields of science, technology, medicine, social science and arts and humanities.
Scopus at a glance, updated August 2017: • 22,800+ titles (see section 4.1): • Over 21,950 peer-reviewed journals (including over 3,600 full open access journals) • 280 trade publications • Over 560 book series • Over 8 million conference papers from over 100,000 worldwide events • “Articles-in-Press” from over 8,000 journals (see section 5) • More than 150,000 books with 20,000 added every year • Over 69 million records (see section 3.1): • 62.4+ million records post 1969 with references • 6.6+ million records pre-1970, with the oldest record dating back to 1788 • Patents: • More than 39 million patent records from five patent offices (see section 2.3)
