  The purpose of this study is to compare Web of Science (WoS) with a Chinese
bibliometric database in terms of authors and their performance, demonstrate
the extent of the overlap between the two groups of Chinese most productive
authors in both international and Chinese bibliometric databases, and determine
how different disciplines may affect this overlap. The results of this study
indicate that Chinese bibliometric databases, or a combination of WoS and
Chinese bibliometric databases, should be used to evaluate Chinese research
performance except in few disciplines in which Chinese research performance
could be assessed using WoS only.
