Loet Leydesdorff, Félix de Moya Anegón, Wouter de Nooy

Abstract

We compare the networks of aggregated journal-journal citation relations as provided by the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) 2012 of the Science and Social Science Citation Indexes (SCI and SSCI) with similar data for 2012 based on Scopus. First, we develop basemaps and overlays for the two sets separately. Second, we match journal names across databases to assess the overlap.
