To discuss about scopus and web of science so let's talk about scopus scopers it is a database powered by elsevier it was first launched in 2004 and it is used basically for abstract database and for the citations so if you open scopus website that is www.scopers.com you can find the interface like this where if you click on the search option you get this option search with it and search documents you can change this portion after clicking this these are some of the options you can use GOI abstract or author name or the article title abstract keywords you can choose all fields or you can be very selective like author or first author or the article title and Abstract keyword this is a very suitable one because and this is why that's why it's default version so let's say we are just trying to find covid-19 covid-19 and let's say in India the impact of it impact so we are just searching for this here now we are getting the data ah if you just look at the data this is 2023 2023 2023 but when I am recording this video it is now 2022 and the end of October but why it's 2023 so natural question basically these things are right now in press and still not published but those are now indexed in the database so you can get the most recent data you can also change it and you can just short it by like the date oldest or site by the highest cited by the lowest like this so let's say cited by highest which is very important for academicians like us let's say this one so it is cited by 797 people you can see this is the Open Access so you can easily have this so to get this article you need to click here we are opening this thing now yeah so we get is the number I mean number of the writers and this is the title of the paper it's open access so d y is there ah just to download this paper all you need to do is to select this DOI copy it and just open another tab paste it and search for this one yeah we get this one this is the version we got so you can easily download it now from here.

Because it's open access so you don't have any problem to download so this is the functionality of the scopus where you can also get the impact factor of the journal after clicking on this journal hyperlink where yeah here you can see the data for this one let's say the these are the scores for the journal whether those are in q1 Q2 or Q3 Q4 ranking it can be shorted from here uh so this is more or less about the scopus now if we look to the web science same kind of interface but with slight difference here you can find in the two division one in the document section this one another the researchers if you are looking for the author so let's say for the documents if you are just searching it let's say the same thing covid-19 19 and India and its impact so what is going for search yeah here you can see at the same time you can get the citations references and this is the Open Access so it's just lock is closed so this one is open access you can also have the abstract here the name of the writers and the details click on it so yeah here we get the entire abstract and the further readings and everything is there so all you need to do is to copy this title and search it to do Google right so now here you can find the paper so first thing that you need to keep in mind that the scoopers and web of science these are not for finding the research papers but these are the resources for I mean understanding I mean what are the works are available so this is not for the finding the research papers but this is the gateway to find the research paper.
