Four New Databases

We now have access to four new databases, all of which use the Web of Science interface. There are now separate listings for each of these on the A-Z databases list:

  • BIOSIS Citation Index
    • Vendor description
      • Find the first mention of plants, organisms, chemicals, or lab techniques in various life sciences fields.
      • Access over 22 million records from journals, books, reports, meetings, and U.S. patents dating 1926 or later
    • Also listed on subject database pages for biology and science
  • Data Citation Index
    • Vendor description
      • Provides a single point of access to quality research data from repositories across disciplines and around the world.
    • Anyone care to suggest what subject database lists this one should be on?
  • Derwent Innovations Index
    • Vendor description
      • Conduct patent and citation searches of inventions in chemical, electrical, electronic, and mechanical engineering. This resource merges the value-added patent information from Derwent World Patents Index with the patent citation information from Derwent Patent Citation Index. You can use additional descriptive information and coding to quickly grasp a patent’s significance and its relationship to other patents.
    • Also listed on subject database page for law
  • Zoological Record
    • Vendor description
      • World’s oldest continuing database of animal biology. It is considered the world’s leading taxonomic reference, and with coverage back to 1864, has long acted as the world’s unofficial register of animal names. The broad scope of coverage ranges from biodiversity and the environment to taxonomy and veterinary sciences.
