Discussion
Statement (A) : There is overlap of contents in Web of Science and Scopus.
Statement (B) : Web of Science and Scopus both are citation and abstract databases.
Answer: A
Both (A) and (B) are true.
Web of Science and Scopus are both abstracting and citation databases: each records bibliographic details and abstracts of journal articles and the references they cite, so that citations can be counted and traced. Because both select the major peer-reviewed journals of the world, a large share of the titles they cover is the same, which is the overlap in statement (A); studies comparing them use this overlap to measure how far each covers what the other misses.
Since both statements hold, the options marking either one false are wrong.
