Interesting: Do Google Scholar, Scopus and the Web of Science speak your
language?
<http://www.harzing.com/publications/white-papers/do-google-scholar-scopus-and-the-web-of-science-speak-your-language>"Prior
research has shown that Google Scholar has a more comprehensive coverage
than Scopus or the Web of Science, especially for scholars in the Social
Sciences and Humanities. Most recently, Harzing & Alakangas (2016) showed
that, on average, the Web of Science had only 23% of the citations of
Google Scholar for the Social Sciences and only 7% for the Humanities. For
Scopus the respective figures were only slightly better at 30% and 11%.
However, all of the academics in this sample were Associate or Full
Professors employed at the University of Melbourne, an Anglophone
university that is ranked number one in Australia and ranked 22 worldwide
in the Times Higher Education ranking for the Social Sciences. Virtually
all of the academics’ publications were in English."
