Are the journals affiliated with Web of Science; Thomson Reuters and Information the same as Information Sciences Institute (ISI) journals? What is the difference between them?
The idea of a citation index actually began in 1955 with the publishing of an innovative paper in the much popular journal Science by Eugene Garfield. In 1960, Garfield established the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), and the Science Citation Index (SCI) for natural sciences was the first product of ISI. In SCI, the bibliographic information is indexed in such a way that one can search for specific articles by subject, author, source title, or geographical location or organization of the authors. Later, ISI introduced citation indexes in social sciences (Social Sciences Citation Index, started in 1966); and arts and humanities (Arts and Humanities Citation Index, started in 1977). Later, Thomson Reuters acquired ISI, and it was so until 2016, when they sold the Intellectual Property & Science Business to Clarivate Analytics.
A larger web based version of Science Citation Index is now available with many easy to use features, the Science Citation Index Expanded. Presently, all the above three indexes are accessible through the Web of Science collection of indexes. Web of Science (WoS) is an online mammoth subscription-based scientific citation indexing service by Clarivate Analytics. The database has current and retrospective coverage from 1900 to the present. It includes 34,200 journals along with numerous books, proceedings, patents, and data sets.
WoS is now available with its core collection bundled with specialist databases. The Web of Science Core Collection consists of six online databases, Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, Arts & Humanities Citation Index, Emerging Sources Citation Index, Conference Proceedings Citation Index, and Book Citation Index. Two subject specific chemistry indexes ( Index Chemicus and Current Chemical Reactions) are also part of the Core Collection.
Specialist databases bundled with WoS are with a subject focus like Medline, BIOSIS Citation Index, CAB Direct, and Zoological Record. Databases with a document type focus like Derwent Innovations Index (patents) and Data Citation Index (datasets and data studies) and databases highlighting content from regions around the world are included. If you want to access Web of Science, you requires subscription and IP authentication. Visit: https://clarivate.com/products/web-of-science/.
I thought this question is that much difficult!!
no one is able to answer?!!
I am also researching for the same, please if somebody can answer, the publisher website shows, Journal is indexed on Thomson Reuters but when I check it on the list, it will be directed to Clarivate analytics.
SCIE: Science Citation Index Expanded
A list of top notch journals by Clavariate Analytics (indexed by Thomson Reuters). These journals are evaluated for calculating impact factor every year based on citations, published papers, reach of the papers etc.
ESCI: Emerging Sources Citation Index
A new type of list in which journals who applied for SCIE gets listed initially while the evaluation is going on. And journals of local importance also gets included in this list. But there is no indexing of papers in Thomson Reuters and also no impact factor is calculated for such journals.
Not all SCOPUS journals are indexed in SCI/SSCI so make sure the journals you target have impact factors
Dear Muayyad,
Basically,
Reuters, Clarivate, Web of Science, SCI/SSCI/A&HCI, (JCR), among other products, are parts of the same first transnational corportation.
Elsevier, Scimago, Scopus, (SJR), among other products are parts of the second one.
my 5 cents
Jorge
all the same. Thomson Reuters Web of Science (formerly ISI Web of Knowledge.

ISI was acquired by Thomson Scientific & Healthcare in 1992, and became known as Thomson ISI. It was a part of the Intellectual Property & Science business of Thomson Reuters until 2016, when the IP & Science business was sold, becoming Clarivate Analytics. In February 2018, Clarivate announced it will re-establish ISI as part of its Scientific and Academic Research group. It exists as a group within Clarivate as of November 2018.
