Reference Reviews: Jacso Reviews Scopus
This is Dr. Jacso’s second review of Scopus. He writes:

Significant gaps were filled in Scopus since I last reviewed it, and many journals were added. Some substantial gaps still remain. Given the software’s trademark fusion of the smooth elegance of ballroom dancing and the power and dynamism of raw flamenco dancing by the late Antonio Gades and his “bailaores,” it is not surprising, that there are many spiffy software features that I enjoy (and one that I consider to be a faux pas—literally and figuratively).

Jacso also has several comments about Google Scholar in the review.

and…
oops, we missed the following review:

Encyclopedia of Terrorism

This is another open access gem in the digital reference collection of the Terrorism Information Center of the Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism (MIPT). It is a licensed version of the digital edition by Gale of the print encyclopedia of Sage Publications. Considering daily events of terrorism, it is somewhat dated as are most of the related encyclopedias on the topic, but it perfectly complements the other resources developed by MIPT or licensed by MIPT for free worldwide access. It provides excellent background for putting into perspective the contemporary acts of terrorism, if not the mindset of their perpetrators.
