What is ISI indexing?

when i google it, found following:

1) International Society of Indexing(ISI)

2) International Scientific Indexing (ISI)

Which one is real ?

Many new journals are not yet indexed by ISI, not because of any inherent quality, but because they are not on the scene long enough. I believe that PubMed, for example, waits for three years until there is an impact factor available.

As I know, to introduce a journal to Scopus editors should fulfill several requirements: It isn't the question of reputation, but of technical details. Seek "scopus suggest journal".

In PAKISTAN, Higher Education Commission (HEC) and Pakistan Science Foundation only consider ISI (Thomson-Reuters)BASED IMPACT FACTOR. There evaluation criteria critically condom the other journals having high quality research papers. So, I think the

ISI (Thomson-Reuters) NOT WILL BE THE ONLY CRITERIA TO WEIGH THE RESEARCH PAPER QUALITY.

Is there any difference between SCI and SCIE journals? 

as for as my knowledge is concerned, it is

SCI= Science Citation Index

SCIE= Science Citation Index Expanded

SCIE journals are evaluated for specific period, move in and out from Thomson routers list.

so try to publish paper in SCI index

Regards

Scopus database contains a larger number of journals, including not so good journals, even predatory journals. ISI, espcially SCIE also include some questionable journals ( very high publication fee and very less reputable publishers).

ISI (SSCI ) indexed journals in economics and business include very good journals/

This link is interesting : http://ijaridea.com/Directory-Of-Research

@ Deepu Thomas, to the best of my knowledge: 

- SCIE is an international and interdisciplinary index, covering more than 8,500 notable and significant journals, across 150 disciplines. SCIE is available online through Web of Science. 

- SCI is a subset of SCIE, covering only the most highly cited & high impact factor Journals in each category. SCI is available on CD-ROM and in print.

Regards,

These are two different indexing and have reputation in research circle. However, in Pakistan, publication in ISI is generally considered and not Scopus. Despite the fact, publication is Scopus is good and valuable outside Pakistan. 

What is ISI indexing?

when i google it, found following:

1) International Society of Indexing(ISI)

2) International Scientific Indexing (ISI)

Which one is real ?

In my country the education authorities accept as of scientific value articles indexed in Scopus and Web of Science, all the others are just having approbation character.

Dear @Parveen Sharma

ISI=Institute for Scientific Information, it is known as Thomson ISI.

Dear Parveen. ISI is an acronym which stand for Institute for Scientific Information.

`Now, ISI becomes Web of Science.

Comparing ISI and Scopus as a source for citations provides mixed results. In general, Scopus provides a higher citation count than ISI, both in the Sciences and in the Social Sciences and Humanities. In the Sciences, this increase in only marginal (except for Computer Science), whilst in the Social Sciences and Humanities, this increase is substantial.

Scopus appears to have a much broader journal coverage for the Social Sciences and Humanities than ISI and hence provides a fairer comparison. Whilst in ISI academics working in the Sciences have on average 17.5 times as many citations as the academics working in the Social Sciences and Humanities, in Scopus this difference is reduced to 7.5 times.

However, for the time being Scopus is hindered by its lack of coverage before 1996. This means that for most established academics in the Sciences, Scopus will lead to lower lifetime citation counts than ISI. In the Social Sciences and Humanities, a substantially increased citation count is likely for academics who have published the majority of their highly cited work after 1996.

Please can anyone help me to get the detail list of ISI journals for the publication of wildlife study and conservation researches. I shall remain highly grateful for your kind help.

Thank you.

Aamir Firoz Shamsi it is a blatant lie. Pakistani authors publish in different journals and not only ISI journals. So many articles we have seen published by authors, most of the predatory journals articles were set out from Pakistan

Above all is SSCI indexing and Scopus Quartile.

I am interested to know about Journal of Petroleum Emulsion and Journal of Petroleum are listed in Scopus and ISI or not? What is impact factor of each?

Please mentio the correct journal name with ISSN. By the way You can try https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-petroleum-science-and-engineering/ its ISI as well scopus index.

Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 is citation from ScimagoJournal Rank, not from Web of Science.

Scopus===> Citescore, SJR, and SNIP

SCImago ---->powered by Scopus==== H index, SJR, cites per doc and total cites and also classified the journal into Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4.

What anyone can be confirmed for me about:

- ScienceDirect

- Elsevier

Thank

ISI - International Scientific Indexing - The ISI is server, that provides indexing of international journals.

Pushan Dutta HEC (Higher education of Pakistan) just approve ISI index journal for promotion and PhD purpose. i found UGC(India) approved journals majority are fake. Reviewer response received in 24 hours hours and funny thing all the material they accepted. so i think need to UGC need criteria improvement?

What is ISI indexing?

In my country, the indexes entering the ISI Database are accepted as "field index". However, I can't find the list of journals on the ISI Database. Could you help me. What is the link of this journal list?

You can search in Database Web of science.

Look for the names of the journals in the base Web of science.

What the grade of Citation Index in Web of Science ? in the Thomson Reuters ?

The name of any journal indexed in WoS can be reached via the hollowing link:

http://mjl.clarivate.com/

BTW, the ranking of journals showed by quartile (Q1-Q4) are given by both WoS (JCR) and Scopus (SJR).

Best,

Hamid

Thanks for your lighting🙏🙏

SJR is Scimago Journal Rank...

What is JCR ?

Interesting discussion

I think that ISI stands for the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). More info can be found in the following link:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_for_Scientific_Information

Actually, ISI stands for Institute for Scientific Information. It becomes web of science, social sciences and humanities citation index. Currently, Emerging Sources Citation Index is a new edition in web of science. Indeed, ISI indexed journals have come from all the scientific areas, and ISI indexed journals which have 5-year impact factor (IF).

You may check ISI according to metrics from the site: web of science, for example, Impact Factor (IF) for 2 or 5 years. ISI can be Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4. People can check it through the Journal Citation Report (JCR).

ISI and Scopus both are social science and humanities citation index.

Generally, people check Scopus through the sites of SJR, SNIP, citescore, SCImango H index, SJR. Also the site of google scholar: h5-index.

ISI-International Scientific Indexing:

high quality peer-reviewed publications

JCR-Journal Citation Report

Scopus: Elsevier's abstract and citation database

All of them are used as indexed cites

Ok, thank your answer 👍👍

Returning to the original question " ISI and Scopus indexed journals have been considered as having high quality peer-reviewed publications. Why do they get such good scientific reputation? Does it mean that non-ISI-indexed journals are not recommended for publication? " it could be interesting to say that once a research article is written, it has an intrinsec degree of quality, even before improving it by the reviewers suggestions. In principle a good quality article could be published in a journal that is not well known or recognized in the area of the paper: an example of this is the very high quality paper of Poincaré about electron dynamics and relativity theory. Now, as this decreases the visibility of the research results, it is reasonable that authors of high quality research try to publish in well recognized journals. But, from a logical point of view, it could be possible that a high quality research be published in a unknown journal. From the point of view of academic managers, their assessment of the research performance of a colleague, due to reasons of time and knowledge, in general can not be done directly on the paper content. The assessment must rely on externalities like where is the journal indexed (like ISI, SCOPUS, Pubmed, Scielo, Latindex), journal impact factors and other available measures. So almost always a very high quality article published in a wrong journal would not be taken into consideration, neither by managers nor by colleagues.

Dear Abdualrahman

In my point of opinion, Journals indexed either in SCOPUS or ISI no matter in publishing your articles, Which strengthens your Curriculum vitae. But you also have a concern about where you want work? Then the only journals recognized by that organization carries the most weight.

Regards

Dr. Kamath Madhusudhana

high quality articles could improve the journal's measures ...

A very informative discussion. Now UGC ,India reworked and removed all those 'ready to accept' journals.

Is there any useful question links on what are the important parameters to be checked for a paper to be published in Scopus indexed journals ?

In large part, yes non-ISI-indexed journals are not recommended for publication and can't let good visibility of your work. There are Journals that work on the quality of the publication and the service to the authors. It is no longer acceptable today that a submission lasts two years to be published! However, it is the case in Journals. There are also Journals that seek payment without looking at the quality of the publication (with incomprehensible equations, invisible figures ...) and there are Journals that we find with plagiarism (how are the reviews then! ??).

According to the ScimagoJournal Rank, the journals are divided into four levels Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4. The ISI is meaning of International Scientific Indexing.

Which they better????? Scopus or Web of Science indexing????

ok, you are right,,, but in any countries,,, qualities indexing of journal is very high value,,, in Indonesia country, high level indexing (Scopus, Web of Science or ISI, Microsoft Academic search ) is high point of value,,, 🙏🙏

Yes.

Dear colleagues, just one qury not answer:

Sometimes the journal is indexed ISI and has an impact factor, but at the same time, some scientists do not recommend publication in this mentioned journal. How to do, who to believe - ISI or to those scientists??

Chers collegues, j'ai juste une qustion:

Il arrive parfois que la revue soit indexée est dans la liste ISI ait un certain "Impact Factor"(ait un facteur d’impact), mais en même temps, certains scientifiques ne recommandent pas la publication dans cette revue, dont j'ai parlé la-haut. Comment faire, a qui croire - A la liste ISI ou aux scientifiques??

Merci d'avance pour votre reponse!

Ok,,👍👍👍thank

ISI stands for Institute for Scientific Information which belonged to Thompson Reuters now it moves to be under the umbrella of Clarivate analytics' umbrella.

Dears,

ISI stands for Institute for Scientific Information which belong to Clarivate, formerly ((Thompson Reuters)), and YES, non-ISI/Scopus journals are not recommended for publication and offer authors poor visibility to their work. ISI/Scopus aim at the quality and depth of the work and demand contribution and novelty, otherwise they simply reject the submitted work. On the other hand, many journals seek payment and accept your work without looking at any scientific measure, and accept in few days.

Regards,

Naser

Thank you Naser, but submitted in ISI or Scopus indexed journal is very difficul. What do you have skill for break this problem?

Dear Waspodo Tjipto Subroto ,

For your first question. ISI has higher rank and value compared to Scopus, this make ISI selectivity very low in acceptance, i.e. they don't accept superficial work, as depth is a MUST, and quality is essential in order to consider your work. for the 2nd question, YER it is hard to get your work published @ ISI , but NOT impossible.

Authors publish in ISI have to come up with (1) Novelty, (2) Depth, and (3) contribution w.r.to other work. Try harder and you will succeed.

Below, I refer you to my ISI paper published in Elsevier Physical Communication Journal, it has been accepted after a whole year of revisions !!!!:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/329160131_Millimetre_wave_frequency_band_as_a_candidate_spectrum_for_5G_network_architecture_A_survey?_sg=w11A1e-T2kvbgio_jx4-3PDRUXkMbuFMUQTAzgevfCd2XFYUWfRE_UUX65z9d6teyRD5_s8Y6oEQGmLyyM83S4KA9tYsQt4Y3mpeceiL.VyeRxsTQCc37gxpSzax-tVwGfAHt7zGvqmjpjL3tIaa3LqLldH2o5YqriPa8sVjikgqXeESFii_LqtKG9SqRgg

Dear Parveen Sharma:

ISI stands for "Institute for Scientific Information" which belonged to Clarivate analytics (formerly Thompson Reuters). Any other indexing companies having "ISI" logo, are "predatory metrics".

Regards

The two bases that are different by the time frame put into evaluation. ISI uses the articles for the last two years, while Scopus uses a 3 year window. Scopus is a bigger repository and indexing system of journals. Scopus calls it metrics as citescore while ISI calls it Impact Factor. Scopus is a bigger repository and indexing system of journals. Since late 2016, citescore has become a more important tool for journal evaluation. In any case, both systems have one purpose: for the commercialization of knowledge.

The ISI and Scopus citation index remain the best of all indexing sources

However I think that Scopus will be more evaluated than ISI in the next years due to citation number during the last years

Is it Internation Scientific Indexing

How do we ascertain whether or not a journal is predatory or not?

Previously we called it as ISI (institute of scientific information), however, after it had been sold to thomson reuters and renamed as ISI web of knowledge. In year 2016, Clarivate buy over the science division of thomson Reuters, now we called it as Web of Science. No more ISI.

Scopus is Elsevier's abstract and citation database launched in 2004. ... All journals covered in the Scopus database, regardless of who they are published under, are reviewed each year to ensure high quality standards are maintained. Scopus covers nearly 36,377 titles (22,794 active titles and 13,583 inactive titles) from approximately 11,678 publishers, of which 34,346 are peer-reviewed journals in top-level subject fields.

Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) provides indexing of major international journals and proceedings and created by Eugene Garfield. The larger version (Science Citation Index Expanded) covers more than 8,500 notable and significant journals, across 150 disciplines, from 1900 to the present.

Scopus and ISI (more specifically the ISI Web of Knowledge) are two bibliographic databases operated by different companies - Elsevier and Clarivate Analytics (formerly part of Thomson Reuters) and there is no intrinsic difference in the journals, aside from their being featured in one database or the other or both.

So, what do you think about it?

Every J has some indexing credits like from pubmed, doaj, ISI, Scopus or even in RG database. These accreditations depict the standard of a J. But, that doesnt mean "non-ISI-indexed journals are not recommended for publication".

ISI journals are a product of Web of Knowledge and is an authoratative resource for impact factor data. This database provides impact factors and rankings of many journals in the social and life sciences based on millions of citations.

Scopus and ISI (more specifically the ISI Web of Knowledge) are two bibliographic databases operated by different companies - Elsevier and Clarivate Analytics (formerly part of Thomson Reuters).

Many journals are indexed in the two databases, but ISI journals are fewer in number and more powerful and firm than Scopus journals.

Publishers of journals are more important. Because, in future maybe the journal become out of ISI or....

These are no-nonsense indexing bodies. I published a paper in a Journal indexed in Scopus in 2007 but as I speak, that journal is no longer indexed in Scopus. Why? Because they lost credibility and fell off the standard set by Scopus. They could get back, I presume, when and if they ever meet the minimum standards for indexing in Scopus. ISI is just the same. The standards could spam the quality of editorial board to consistency in terms of duration from submission to publication.

Is actually European Chemical Bulletin in Scopus Journal List?

If a Scopus journal is removed from indexing, will the score be retained for the researcher who published an article when the journal was indexed?

Yes, if the journal was indexed in Scopus as at the time the article was published in the journal

ISI and Scopus indexed journals are almost equally validated by researchers, quality of research papers are standard in both indexed journals.
