19 Faculty and Graduate Student Self-Reported Use of Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science [189 People from 22 Departments] We do not use Scopus at all -- probably for historical reasons, since as long as I can remember I have always dealt with WoS and was happy enough not to look for any alternatives. We have a VERY HEAVY USE of SCOPUS not so much of Web of Science or Google Scholar. I use Google Scholar and Scopus the most. I've used Scopus when editors have provided me free access when I have served as a reviewer. I was not aware Scopus was directly available at UConn. Does the university have scopus and web of science access? I would like to use those too, but I don t have a subscription.

20 Faculty and Graduate Student Self-Reported Use of Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science [189 People from 22 Departments] No serious researcher can survive without access to Web of Science I ve used web of science for many years and that is what I m most used to. But I don t see much difference between these services. I have longstanding Scopus alerts and have just never rolled these over into anything else. I also admit that it is ignorance of the other available tools that drives my use of Google scholar. I do not use any of these three mostly because I am not familiar with them.
