Moving from Web of Science to Scopus
Quick fyi for interns and other ref deskers who haven't seen the emails flying around to liaison librarians, faculty library reps, and dept heads outside the library...
We're moving from Web of Science (subscription expires June 30th) to Scopus (should have access in a week).
Scopus indexes twice as many titles as Web of Science, and includes over 99% of the titles that are indexed by the Web of Science.
Journal Citation Reports will expire with Web of Science, but many faculty currently use Google Scholar and Eigenfactor for citation analysis.
We plan to create a research guide for assistance with these sources. We also plan to create a guide to Scopus and will offer training as needed. If you have questions or concerns, please contact your liaison librarian.
Best,
Lea
