Which is more important for researchers SCOPUS or SCI journals for their publications? Does any SCI journal also exist in SCOPUS list? What is mean of INDEX journals?
SCOPUS calculates the h-index of an author or a group of authors using journal publications from 1996-current, i.e. papers published before 1996 are not included in the calculation.
The h-index “gives an estimate of the importance, significance, and broad impact of a scientist’s cumulative research contributions”. For more about this, see
The Science Citation Index (SCI), begun in 1961, studies the dynamics of journal relations by using the aggregates of their mutual citations. This has resulted in an aggregated journal-journal citation matrix derived from the Journal Citation Reports. For more about this, see
More to the point, SCOPUS journal rankings is based on the importance, significance and impact factor of a researcher's cumulative contributions. This contrasts with SCI, which is based on aggregated citation information. Hence, the rankings of SCOPUS and SCI are quite different.
