Identify the correct evolutionary sequence of the following sources :

  • A.Science Citation Index; Web of Science; Scopus; Indian Citation Index
  • B.Science Citation Index; Scopus; Indian Citation Index; Web of Science
  • C.Science Citation Index; Indian Citation Index; Web of Science; Scopus
  • D.Science Citation Index; Web of Science; Indian Citation Index; Scopus

Answer: A

The sequence is Science Citation Index; Web of Science; Scopus; Indian Citation Index.

  1. Science Citation Index: Eugene Garfield's ISI began it in 1964.
  2. Web of Science: the web version of the ISI citation indexes, launched in 1997.
  3. Scopus: Elsevier launched it in 2004.
  4. Indian Citation Index: launched only at the end of the 2000s.

Every option begins correctly with SCI. The others go wrong by putting Scopus before Web of Science, or the Indian Citation Index ahead of either international database.
