- The Scholars Page does NOT retrieve the number of publications directly from WOS/Scopus.
- This is because the two have different mechanisms of formation.
Computer algorithms generate the author page found in WOS/Scopus and sometimes may not correspond to the actual publication aspects.
For example, WOS separates scholars’ publications under three accounts.
For example, Scopus separates scholars’ publications under two accounts.
Number of WOS/Scopus publications in the Scholars Page:
Calculations are made based on the citation statistics of all claimed items.
If the system shows WOS/Scopus in the citation statistics of an item, no matter the number of citations is 0 or many, then it means that the item is included in WOS and Scopus, and labelled WOS and Scopus as Y.
If only WOS citations are shown, regardless of the number of citations, then the item is included by WOS and only by Scopus, labelled WOS as Y and Scopus as N;
Conversely, if only Scopus citations are shown, regardless of the number of citations, then the item was and is only indexed by Scopus, labelled Scopus as Y and WOS as N.
If both of them are displayed as not none, or the citation statistics column is not displayed on the details page of the item, then both WOS and Scopus are labelled as N.
The number of Y's for WOS in the claimed items will be displayed under WOS.
The same goes for Scopus.
