I would like to know what actually is the difference in criteria requirements between the two indexes. Why does Scopus have more journals in its index compared to that of SCI? Since there are many journals that are listed in both SCI and Scopus indexes, I believe there are some criteria that overlap. What are the differences between the two criteria?
In terms of percentage, Scopus is dominated by the humanities, while WoS mainly specializes in the exact, natural sciences. Scopus is dominated by the h-index, while WoS is based on impact factors. Scopus does not restrict information sources as tightly as WoS does. Therefore, more materials are collected in Scopus than in WoS. From my point of view, WoS is a much more prestigious database that does not have predatory journals.
