Scopus vs. SCI/SCIE Indexed Journals: Understanding the Key Differences for PhD Scholars

Introduction

For PhD scholars and faculty members in India, understanding the nuances between Scopus and Science Citation Index (SCI/SCIE) is crucial for career advancement and thesis submission.

Key Indexing Metrics

While Scopus utilizes CiteScore and SJR metrics managed by Elsevier, SCI/SCIE journals use Impact Factor (IF) calculated by Clarivate Analytics Web of Science Core Collection.
