Dear Fida Rehman

Both are citation index. Scopus owned by Elsevier, and Science Citation Index (SCI) owned by Clarivate Analytics (formerly, by Thomson Reuters). Where Scopus focuses on the independent journals in the research field of Science, Technology, Medicine, and Social Sciences, SCI indexes mainly the technical and scientific publications including natural and social sciences.

Scopus and SCI indexed journals are far better than the ones which are non-indexed, there is a tough competition between themselves. Elsevier’s Scopus-indexed journals are slightly weaker than SCI-indexed journals in terms of quality and relevance. The reason being SCI indexing database upholds the greater value of the journals when it comes to authenticity, quality, novelty, and relevance to the academe. And hence, SCI journals follow stringent publishing codes. On the other hand, the publishing norms of Scopus are also stringent but relatively easier to follow and cater to. The quality measurement of the journal undertaken by both indexing databases results in fewer journals indexed in SCI and more in Scopus. You may conclude that Scopus is more in quantity and SCI is more in quality. Therefore, if you are confident about the potential of your journal paper, you may consider SCI journals over Scopus.
