Is it better to publish in Journals indexed ISI Or in Scopus ( Social Sciences)
ISI and Scopus are two different databases for indexing academic journals. ISI stands for Institute for Scientific Information, while Scopus is an Elsevier product. Both databases aim to provide information on the quality and impact of academic journals.
The main difference between ISI and Scopus is the range of subject areas they cover. ISI has traditionally focused on the natural sciences, engineering, and social sciences, while Scopus covers a wider range of subject areas, including humanities and medical research.
In terms of publishing, there is no clear answer as to whether it is better to publish in ISI or Scopus indexed journals . Ideally, researchers should aim to publish in journals that are relevant to their area of research and have a high impact factor, regardless of whether they are indexed in ISI or Scopus.
Ultimately, the decision of where to publish should be based on a variety of factors, such as journal reputation, audience, and relevance to the researcher's area of research.
