Citation databases are databases that, in addition to bibliographic data, indicate the number of citations per publication. Many citation indexes provide links to the publishers' website to help users find full texts. Bibliographic databases such as Web of Science and Scopus not only provide indexing and abstracting services, but also offer advanced functions of result analysis, and can help users to identify high-impact research.
