The Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) is a comprehensive database that tracks citations of scholarly articles in the social sciences. It helps researchers find relevant literature and assess the impact of their work by showing how often their publications are cited by others. The SSCI covers various disciplines, including sociology, psychology, and economics. By providing citation data, the SSCI enables academics to evaluate trends in research and identify influential studies. It is an essential tool for researchers, institutions, and libraries, facilitating access to high-quality information and supporting the advancement of knowledge in the social sciences.
