SCI, founded by institute for scientific information, contains the authors, titles, source journals, abstracts and keywords of documents, which can not only evaluate the academic value of articles from the perspective of literature citation, but also quickly and conveniently establish a reference network for research topics.
Because the papers included in SCI are mainly in the basic research field of natural science, SCI indicators are mainly suitable for evaluating the achievements of basic research, and the main achievements of basic research are academic papers. Therefore, how to evaluate the basic research results is often simplified as how to evaluate the influence of the contents contained in the paper on the progress of scientific knowledge.
CSSCI Citation Index of Chinese Social Sciences (CSSCI) developed by Nanjing University is a key research project of the State and the Ministry of Education, which is used to retrieve cited papers and documents in the social sciences field in China.
