Web of Science is the original citation research source and—along with Google Scholar— one of the most interdisciplinary and comprehensive citation resources available to UC researchers.
Scopus is another resource frequently used for citation analysis and journal ranking statistics. The Scopus claims to be the "largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature and quality web sources with smart tools to track, analyze and visualize research."
