In the context of research publication, what is the full form of SSCI?

This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2023 Home Science Question Paper (13-Dec-2023) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Social Science Citation Index

SSCI stands for Social Science Citation Index.
It is a multidisciplinary citation index, produced by Clarivate Analytics (originally by the Institute for Scientific Information), that indexes and tracks citations across thousands of social science journals covering fields such as psychology, sociology, education, economics, and political science.
Researchers use SSCI to identify high-impact journals, measure the citation impact of published research, and select appropriate outlets for publishing social science research, which is important for research quality assessment and academic evaluation, including calculating journal impact factors.
The other options referring to computing or calculator indices do not correspond to any recognized bibliometric database, so the correct full form is Social Science Citation Index.
