This paper compares the h-indices of a list of highly-cited Israeli researchers based on citations counts retrieved from the Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar respectively. In several case the results obtained through Google Scholar are considerably different from the results based on the Web of Science and Scopus. Data cleansing is discussed extensively.read more

Three options for citation tracking: Google Scholar, Scopus and Web of Science
TL;DR: The data indicate that the question of which tool provides the most complete set of citing literature may depend on the subject and publication year of a given article, and that any one of these three resources as the answer to all citation tracking needs is not identified.
