Abstract: SCI-E and SSCI are one of the main citation databases (CDB) in the world in the field of natural and applied (SCI-E) and social (SSCI) scientific disciplines. In 2014, within the SCI-E all scientific fields of natural and applied science disciplines classified into 176 categories, and within SSCI all scientific fields of social science disciplines are classified into 56 categories. Scientific journals in the field of “Economic Sciences” are sorted within the SSCI in 8 (eight) categories, plus one category within the SCI-E. In paper is given the state and analysis of scientific journals indexed in SSCI and SCI-E citation databases (CDB) for 9 (nine) given categories in field of “Economic Sciences” for period of 1995-2014. Number of different scientific journals for 9 (nine) given categories in the field of “Economic Sciences” for period of 1997-2014, has increased by 455 journals (from 415 journals in 1995 to 860 journals in 2014) with cumulative growth index of 207.23% compared to 1997. Best ranked category among given nine categories in field of “Economic Sciences” was category “Economics” (Econ), who according to number of journals for the entire period 1995-2014 was always ranked first (top-one) in frame of SSCI. Largest increase of number of scientific journals for period 1995-2014 for all nine given categories in field of “Economic Sciences” had category “Management” (Manag).
