In today's world, scientific research plays a significant role. Researchers use various databases to search for information on a topic of interest, monitor the publications of colleagues and evaluate their own work. It is important to note that no single database is exhaustive. For the most comprehensive search results, it is recommended to use more than one database. Because Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed are the largest international databases, authors often wonder where the best place to publish an article is. It is impossible to answer this question accurately, as the systems, although similar, have differences, so the choice of platform for posting and searching information depends on many factors:

- If the author is looking for deep citation on certain sources and his work is analytical, it is better to turn to Web of Science.

- If the author is engaged in natural or exact science, it is better to use Web of Science and PubMed, and for humanities and if the research is related to forecasting it will be better to publish in Scopus.

Academic production is steadily growing in every field of science. A recent analysis of the Scopus database from 1900 to 2020 showed that the volume of academic publications increased by about 250% every decade Thus, taking stock of the major inroads is becoming increasingly complex, making literature reviews a cornerstone for theory development by identifying critical gaps for further exploration and deepening the academic conversation . In the effort to systematise such a growing corpus of knowledge, researchers have increasingly resorted to bibliometric methods, which offer the opportunity to analyse largely populated research domains by examining influential ties in terms of key contributions, prolific authors, on-topic journals and chronological evolutions
