File Description [top]

The Asia-Pacific database covers the business, economics, and new industries of the Pacific Rim nations, including east Asia, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, Australia, and the Pacific Island nations. Records are main records consisting of abstracts or citations for journal articles and other publications. Detailed abstracts are provided for selected journal articles, monographs, selected papers in conference proceedings, dissertations, and government documents. Shorter citations with briefer indexing are provided for a wide variety of journal articles, newspapers, government documents, and annual report publications.

Asia-Pacific selectively covers many U.S. and international publications, including over 150 local (non-U.S.) newspapers and business journals, government documents, conference proceedings, press releases, and monographs.
