[Eril-l] web of science versus scopus

[Matt Thomas]

Though we've done no formal assessment, we've only got WoS and not Scopus. In fact we've basically got ALL of WoS' offerings. Our Science Librarian would love to have both but the budget can't handle both and WoS seems to be the clear winner.

Hello fellow ER Librarians,



Our institution has just subscribed to Web of Science after years of demand. We are trying to assess the need for both Web of Science and Scopus. I am wondering if and how other institutions have dealt with this particular decision. For reference, we are a four year public institution with a focus in the sciences and social sciences and one doctoral program, and several masters program.



Thanks,
