论文摘要
网络科学和Scopus是两个世界领先和竞争的引用数据库。 By using the Science Citation Index Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index, this paper conducts a comparative, dynamic, and empirical study focusing on the use of Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus in academic papers published during 2004 and 2018. This brief communication reveals that although both Web of Science and Scopus are increasingly used in academic papers, Scopus as a new-comer is really challenging the dominating role of WoS.来自越来越多的国家/地区和知识领域的研究人员参与了这两个数据库的使用。尽管相关论文的主要生产者是发达经济体，但一些发展中国，巴西和伊朗等发展中的经济体也起着重要作用，但在使用这两个数据库中具有不同的模式。两个数据库都广泛用于荟萃分析相关研究中，尤其是用于中国的研究人员。健康/医学相关的领域和传统信息科学与图书馆科学领域在使用引文数据库中脱颖而出。
Web of Science and Scopus are two world-leading and competing citation databases. By using the Science Citation Index Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index, this paper conducts a comparative, dynamic, and empirical study focusing on the use of Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus in academic papers published during 2004 and 2018. This brief communication reveals that although both Web of Science and Scopus are increasingly used in academic papers, Scopus as a new-comer is really challenging the dominating role of WoS. Researchers from more and more countries/regions and knowledge domains are involved in the use of these two databases. Even though the main producers of related papers are developed economies, some developing economies such as China, Brazil and Iran also act important roles but with different patterns in the use of these two databases. Both two databases are widely used in meta-analysis related studies especially for researchers in China. Health/medical science related domains and the traditional Information Science & Library Science field stand out in the use of citation databases.
