- You want a citation database that gives you the highest number 
of citations possible for articles. Should you use Google 
Scholar, Scopus, or Web of Science? This article is "an 
observational study examining these three databases; comparing 
citation counts for articles from two disciplines (oncology and 
condensed matter physics) and two years (1993 and 2003)." Its 
findings: which database is best depends upon the discipline and 
the year of publication. -
