摘要：The purpose of the current study is to explore the difference of the impact factor between Web of Science and Scopus databases for engineering education and educational technology journals. The study analyzes six engineering educational journals and seven educational technology jour-nals which are indexed both in Web of Science and Scopus. For engineering education journals, analysis dates are limited to 2006 through 2008; as for educational technology journals, date is only limited to 2010. The research results indicate that the ranking of the impact factor for the selected journals indexed both in Web of Science and Scopus is extremely similar. A significant relationship exists between Web of Science and Scopus for selected journals’ ranks in impact fac-tor.
