What is the dialectical relationship between Web of Science database and SCI paper? in view of this problem, this article introduces the corresponding analysis and solution in detail, hoping to help more partners who want to solve this problem to find a more simple and feasible method.

Web of Science is the world's largest comprehensive academic information resource covering the largest number of disciplines, which includes more than 8850 core academic journals in natural science, engineering technology, biomedicine and other research fields. The impact factor (Impact Factor, IF) introduced by Web of Science has become a general evaluation index of journals in the world. It is not only an index to measure the usefulness and display of journals, but also an important index to measure the academic level of journals and even the quality of papers.

However, in real life, we often encounter two problems:

1. Will SCI be included in the Web of Science database?

2. Must the papers included in Web of Science database be SCI papers?

Next we will introduce it in more detail:

Will SCI be included in the Web of Science database?

The answer is yes, but there will be delays. The Web of Science core collection mainly consists of the following six databases (Note: all Web of Science databases are not discussed here), so as long as the published papers are SCI, they will be included in the Web of Science database.

But sometimes readers encounter this situation.

This is because the Web of Science database collection refers to the official publication of the paper, which will be included only after it has the annual volume number. Unlike the pre-publication in the PubMed database, the PubMed database collection speed is very fast. Basically, the article can be retrieved in the PubMed database after a week in the magazine online, but it will take some time to be included in the Web of Science database. Therefore, in this process, it will appear that they have published SCI papers, but they are not included in the Web of Science database. But as long as you wait patiently, your contribution is a regular SCI magazine, and it will always be included one day.

Does the paper included in Web of Science database have to be SCI paper?

Although SCI papers are included in the Web of Science database, do not think that the Web of Science database contains all SCI papers (only the core collection of Web of Science is discussed here, not the other databases included by Web of Science).

Web of Science search is not equal to SCI inclusion!

In fact, in addition to the traditional SCIE, SSCI and A&HCI, Web of Science officials have added a journal index called ESCI in recent years:

ESCI, an acronym for Emerging Sources Citation Index, has been added to the Web of Science database since November 2015. ESCI has expanded about 20% of periodicals to SCIE, mainly including potential journals that may be included in several core databases of Web of Science, and expanding the scope of collection and evaluation of each database.

ESCI is mainly located in new journals that have "vitality and potential" and have produced "regional" influence in academic circles. The journals included in ESCI have passed the initial journal evaluation and have the opportunity to be included in the Web of Science core collection database in the future. All journals entering ESCI can be indexed by full text, citation, subject classification index and all authors and addresses, etc. Therefore, ESCI mostly belongs to the magazines published in recent years, and the magazines have no influence factor.

The launch of ESCI plays an encouraging and promoting role for journals not included in SCI. Once they enter the ESCI database, it will make people feel that the journals are not far away from being included in the SCI database; at the same time, even if SCI journals fail to maintain the SCI standard and are kicked out of the SCI database for various reasons, there is also an ESCI database that will not be "thrown out" at once.

You can view ESCI's journals at http://mjl.clarivate.com/cgi-bin/jrnlst/jlresults.cgi?PC=EX.

Therefore, before submitting, we suggest that we should not be confused by Web of Science, but should go to the regular JCR to check the impact factors ([scientific research tools] periodical impact factor query method attached 2018 impact factor download).

The answer to the question about the dialectical relationship between Web of Science database and SCI paper is shared here. I hope the above content can be of some help to you. If you still have a lot of doubts to be solved, you can follow the industry information channel to learn more about it.
