A symposium entitled: ISI Journal vs Scopus: A Comparative Analysis for Academics
On (Oct 9, 2024) in the presence of the head of departments and lecturer a symposium entitled (ISI Journal vs Scopus: A Comparative Analysis for Academics), was presented by the Assistant Lecturer (Mr. Bilal Hikmat) from the Computer Science department, Where it has been explained about Both Scopus and ISI index academic journals, books, and conference proceedings. However, Scopus covers a broader range of subjects, and it indexes more journals than ISI. Scopus also indexes more conference proceedings and offers advanced search features that make it easier to search for and locate relevant research. In summary, Scopus and ISI are two widely used citation databases that offer a range of services to researchers. While ISI is best known for its calculation of the journal impact factor, Scopus offers a more comprehensive citation database that covers a broader range of subjects and indexes more journals. Both Scopus and ISI offer citation analysis and indexing of academic research, but Scopus provides more metrics and features, which makes it a more complete research tool. However, Scopus is also more expensive than ISI, which makes it less accessible for smaller institutions or individual researchers.At the end of the symposium, a set of questions and answers were raised on this subject
