Scientific and Technical Information Processing Aims and scope

Abstract

This paper presents the results of a comparative analysis of documents arrays with the keywords nanobio- or bionano- in the Scopus Database, Web of Science Core collection, Russian Science Citation Index and VINITI RAS Database using the analytical tools of these resources. The subject distribution, composition of sources, and key terms are considered. Differences in the relevant document arrays of these databases in the case of identical queries are revealed. The influence of subject indexing in various resources on the formation of specialized Russian publications arrays is shown.
