SCI and EIWhat are the differences? What are the directions of the journals included separately? SCI and EI journalsWho publishes harder? Learn to answer the questions that everyone is wondering about.
SCI is operated by Clarivate AnalyticsThe main journal directions include: natural sciences, social sciences and medicine, SCI is currently used worldwide and is widely recognized.
EI is published by ElsevierEngineering Information, Inc., a subsidiary of the GroupEdited and published engineering index database. The main types of documents included in the EI database include: EI conferences** and EI journals**. It covers the fields of engineering and technology such as civil engineering, chemical engineering, computer science, and electronic engineering, and provides specialized engineering field search and citation analysis functions.
Although SCI and EI are two independent databases, in fact, some journals are included in both SCI and EI databases.
This means that an article can be indexed by both SCI and EI. In this case, the ** can be classified as either SCI or EI**.
However, in terms of academic reputation, influence, and coverage, SCI journals are recognized by the majority of universities and units, and have a higher academic reputation and importance.
EI journals are more focused on literature in the field of engineering and technology. Therefore, when choosing a journal for submission, you need to comprehensively consider the characteristics of SCI and EI journals according to your research field and goals, so as to make a suitable choice for your own research.
The main differences between SCI and EI are as follows:
1. The subject coverage is different.
SCI mainly collects journal literature in the fields of natural sciences, social sciences and medicine;
EI mainly includes journals and conferences in the field of engineering and technology.
As a result, SCI covers different subject areas more broadly, while EI focuses on the field of engineering technology.
2. The publisher is different.
SCI is operated by Clarivate Analytics, while EI is operated by Elsevier. The two companies offer different search and analysis capabilities to serve different academic needs.
3. Academic influence is different.
Generally, SCI journals enjoy a higher reputation and importance in the academic community, and ** published in SCI journals is often considered to have high academic value and influence.
EI journals also have a certain academic status in the field of engineering technology, but their influence may be slightly lower than that of SCI journals.
4. Journal type.
SCI journals include many internationally renowned journals and top journals, and the ** published in these journals often has high quality and impact.
EI journals are more specialized journals in specific fields, with narrower coverage but deeper depth.
Who is more difficult to publish, SCI or EI?
Overall, EI** publication is easier than SCI, but it is not absolute. In addition, some journals are included in both EI and SCI, and the difficulty of publication cannot be distinguished. Therefore, whether it is good or not depends on the requirements of the target publication.
To sum up, compared with the differences between SCI and EI shared with you, as well as the difficulty of publication, about the publication of **, we suggest that authors need to choose suitable journals according to specific research fields and goals.
