I am sometimes confused in the face of the fact that there are many indexing services. I know that Thomson Reuters services have high acceptance. I wonder other services which indicate that the journal has international acceptance, specifically in education and psychology and social science in general.
Google Scholar is gaining ground as a metric to use, but the social science citation index and their impact factor remains a key measure. Google scholar now provides metrics for journals, here is their site for Social Science: https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=soc
Dr. Schroeder, thank you for your answer. I did not know that Google Scholar was that important. I actually want to understand that in multitude of indexing services and lists such as Scopus, Eric, DOAJ, etc. are there comparisons of those in terms of general acceptance internationally. Ideas and referrals to research or any other attempts to classify different indexes is much appreciated.
