Data showed that [[Library Literature and Information Science]] (LLIS) indexes the highest percentage of LIS faculty publications (31.2%), followed by [[INSPEC]] (30.6%), [[Social Sciences Citation Index]] (SSCI)(29.6%), and LISA (27.2%). LISA is thus the fourth most comprehensive in this study.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Meho |first1=Lokman I. |last2=Spurgin |first2=Kristina M. |title=Ranking the research productivity of library and information science faculty and schools: An evaluation of data sources and research methods |journal=Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology |date=October 2005 |volume=56 |issue=12 |pages=1314–1331 |doi=10.1002/asi.20227 }}</ref>
