Comparing bibliographic data sources: Q&A

Abstract

Your paper is based on a huge amount of data. How did you manage to get access to so much data? In the internal database system of CWTS, we have access to the raw data of Scopus, Web of Science, Dimensions, Crossref, and Microsoft Academic. CWTS is probably the only center in the world that has access to all this data, so we are in a unique position to compare the different data sources.
