In the long road of scientific research, we are always looking for the fastest way to publish papers. However, what is the basic ability we need most to do scientific research and publish papers most efficiently?
Is it scientific thinking? writing mindset? Or experimental skills?
These are the abilities that researchers need, but the foundation of these abilities is actually the literature ability!
Cultivating scientific research thinking requires literature ability;
Clarifying writing ideas requires literature ability;
To learn experimental skills, literature skills are required.
Therefore, one of the basic abilities of a scientific researcher is the ability to "tame" a large amount of literature. The literature ability starts from searching the literature.
If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. Do you know which databases can search for literature?
Want to know? Let's take a look.
The paper search report will be used in fund project application, professional title review, degree defense or job hunting. Web of Science, EI, and SCOPUS are all commonly used literature search databases in the world. The following editor (www.unionpub.cn) will give you a brief introduction Click them.
1. Web of Science
An information service platform developed by Clarivate Analytics, whose data comes from periodicals, books, patents, conference proceedings, network resources (including free and open resources), etc., often referred to as WOS. The three major citation index systems (SCIE, SSCI, A&HCI) of Web of Science have collected more than 12,400 authoritative and high-impact international academic journals around the world, covering natural science, engineering technology, social science, art and humanities and other subject areas. Web of Science collects the references cited in the paper and compiles a unique citation index according to the cited author, source and publication year.
Web of Science core (three major citation index libraries)
1. Science Citation Index Expanded (Science Citation Index, referred to as SCIE) has always been recognized by the global academic community as the most authoritative scientific and technological literature retrieval tool, providing the most important research information in the field of science and technology. A total of more than 8,600 world authoritative journals in the field of natural sciences have been collected, covering 176 subject areas.
2. Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI for short) is a multidisciplinary comprehensive database covering the field of social sciences, which includes more than 3,000 world authoritative journals in the field of social sciences, covering 56 subject areas.
3. Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI for short) includes more than 1,700 world authoritative periodicals in the field of arts and humanities, covering music art, philosophy, history, drama, literature and literary criticism, language and language There are 28 subject areas such as music, dance, folklore, medieval and Renaissance studies, and Asian studies.
In addition to the core library, Web of Science also integrates Emerging Source Citation Index (ESIC), BKCI, CPCI, Current Contents Connect

2. NO
EI Compendex is an engineering index database provided by Elsevier. It is currently the most comprehensive secondary literature database in the engineering field in the world. It mainly collects important literature in the field of engineering technology. EI collection includes three types: EI core collection, non-core collection (Pageone collection), conference papers. The EI Compendex database focuses on providing abstract index information in the field of applied science and engineering, involving nuclear technology, bioengineering, transportation, chemical and process engineering, lighting and optical technology, agricultural engineering and food technology, computer and data processing, applied physics, electronics And communication, control engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, materials engineering, petroleum, aerospace, automotive engineering and sub-disciplines of these fields.

3. SCOPUS
Scopus database is an interdisciplinary information navigation tool launched by Elsevier in 2004. It is the world's largest abstracts and citations database. Scopus contains the world's most extensive collection of abstracts, references and indexes of scientific and medical literature. Scopus provides users with citation information for its indexed articles and also integrates web and patent searches directly from a simple interface.
In addition to providing literature, Scopus also provides the citation status of the article and the reference information of the article; users can obtain the full text through the SFX link on the search result page; the search result items can be imported into personal literature management software.
Core of Scopus
It is the world's largest abstract and citation database, covering 15,000 scientific, technical and medical journals. Scopus not only provides users with citation information for its indexed articles, but also integrates web and patent searches directly from a straightforward interface. Direct links to full text, library resources, and other applications such as reference management software also make Scopus easier and faster than any other literature search tool.
4. Common features of the three databases
• Search Papers
• Understand the development trend of the field and scientific research trends
• The difference is that Clarivate Analytics publishes the Journal Citation Report (JCR) every year, which includes the journal's impact factor, which has now become a common international journal evaluation index.
• As three paper index databases with different establishment concepts and collection standards , there is no distinction between the three. When submitting, please choose according to each person's own subject direction and relevant school regulations!
