TL;DR
A higher number of journals, articles, signing authors and total citations in Scopus, but the signing authors/articles and institutions/articles indices were higher in WoS.
Abstract
El objetivo de este trabajo es comparar entre Web of Science (WoS) y Scopus los indicadores bibliométricos básicos del área de tabaquismo de autores españoles en el período 2000-2009. Métodos: La búsqueda se realizó en el SCI-Expanded y Scopus (“smok*” OR “tobac*”). Resultados: La media total anual del nº de documentos fue de 41 ± 12 para WoS vs 60 ± 16 en Scopus (p = 0,007). Aumento progresivo del índice de colaboración. La media anual del índice de colaboración fue de 9,41 ± 2,73 en WoS vs 7,12 ± 1,52 en Scopus (p = 0,029). Mayor número de citas con el paso del tiempo en ambas bases de datos pero son más recientes las citas en Scopus, el índice citas/artículo fue mayor en WoS (WoS 14,47 vs 11,50 Scopus). Conclusiones: Mayor número de revistas, trabajos, firmas y citas en Scopus comparado con WoS. El índice firmas/artículo e instituciones/artículo fue mayor en WoS. Incremento del índice de colaboración y mayor acúmulo de citas en los artículos más antiguos, pero más recientes en Scopus.
