Abstract
To access the quality criteria of scientific publications, resources are needed to systematize and organize the information, so that it can be consulted as quickly and effectively as possible. Currently, Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics) and Scopus (Elsevier), together with their impact indicators Journal Citation Reports (JCR) and SCImago Journal & Country Rank (SJR), respectively, are the most used. However, in the last decade new initiatives have emerged from different sources that offer services for the same purpose, but with different features. This work aims to show seven tools which offer scientific information and quality indicators, beyond Web of Science and Scopus. The resources described are Google Scholar, Google Scholar Citations, Google Scholar Metrics, Microsoft Academic, Lens.org, 1findr and Dimensions, emphasizing the location of the quality indicator that it offers. In addition to the usual «citations received» indicator, others such as the h index, the h5 index, the altmetrics or the citations received by patents are indicated.
