Citations and abstracts for journals, books, and conference proceedings, primarily in the natural and social sciences.
CiteScore measures the citation impact of sources, such as journals. It does this by counting the citations received in 2017-2020 to articles, reviews, conference papers, book chapters and data papers published in 2017-2020, and divides this by the number of publications published in 2017-2020.
Cited by tells you how many times a source has been cited by other researchers.
Usage Count - the number of times an article has been accessed to the point of obtaining full text from the publisher's website or the article citation has been saved to a citation management tool (i.e., RefWorks)
