The Science Citation Index Expanded (previously titled Science Citation Index) is a citation index originally produced by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) and created by Eugene Garfield.
The Science Citation Index (SCI) was officially launched in 1964,[1] and later was distributed via CD/DVD.[2] Then in 1997, Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) superseded SCI, and becomes available online. SCIE is now owned by Clarivate (previously the Intellectual Property and Science business of Thomson Reuters).[3][4][5][6][7]
The indexing database covers more than 9,200 notable and significant journals, across 178 disciplines, from 1900 to the present. These are alternatively described as the world's leading journals of science and technology, because of a rigorous selection process.[8][9][10]
