What is the main difference between SCI- and ISI-indexed journals? JCR (stands for Journal Citation Reports) is also produced by Thomson Reuter, are they the same thing?
Hi,
These names belong to the World of Science portal, that from time to time changes the producers' names. It used to be ISI, than it changed to Thomson Reuters, and now it is Clarivate Analytics. The Journal Citation Report is part of this portal, and it is a database that ranks journals by publications and citations. The Science citation index is also part of this portal, and it is a bibliographic database.

of course a big gap SCI, SCI-expanded indices and web of science or dDhomson Reuders (ISI or webof science) are compledely differend. SCI and SCI-expn are classes in ISI.
A journal is indexed in the Web of Science is used to be called an ISI journal. ISI means the Institute for Scientific Information, which developed and produced the Science Citation Index (SCI), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), and the Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI).
If you login "Web of Science" then you can find an option "Journal citation report". In this section you can find SCI journals with their impact factor and rank (Q1, Q2, Q3 or Q4).
The Science Citation Index (SCI) is a highly selective subset of journals found in the Science Citation Index Expanded. Journals in SCI are typically the most consistently high impact titles in many scientific disciplines .
