Example of a publication in Google Scholar
Example of a publication in Scopus
The same article has more citations in Google Scholar than in Scopus. This is because articles must meet certain quality requirements before they are included in the Scopus database. Google Scholar automatically searches scientific publications on the Web and also finds preprints, research reports and the like.
