Scholar can also include citations by non-peer reviewed sources as Alexander mentioned. This can be for instance be a master thesis. Scholar is most likely faster since the results are not gone through by people. More information about differences can be found here: http://libguides.lib.msu.edu/pubmedvsgooglescholar
Dear Seda,
My impression is that google is very fast to detect new citations compared to other sites tracking bibliographical stats. Citation data appears on google within days of a paper gets available online. There is a much longer lag time between publication date and the new citation to show up on scopus or ISI. Scopus on the other hand seems to be better on picking up citations in supplementary material compared to scholar.
Best regards / Jonas

Google scholar include citations in all articles in literature, and in web of science are only citations in journals which are in SCI list.
Google Scholar includes citations to patents and books that are not included in ISI's tally.
I think that ISI citation is more trusted in the way that it only takes into consideration the officially ranked journals, contrary to google, sometimes it counts on non indexed journals.
One key difference is that self citations are not distinguished by google scholar but ISI gives you total as well as non self citations records separately
Yes I agree with Dr. Mondal answer. It is for the same reason that Google scholar doesnot distinguish self and non self citations while ISI does.
The results show that ResearchGate has indexed impressively many citations for a single website and has become a major source of academic papers, perhaps even starting to challenge Google Scholar in this regard
