File Description [top]

SPIN^Ž (Searchable Physics Information Notices), covering all major areas of physics research, provides the most current indexing and abstracting of the major American, Russian, and Ukrainian physics and astronomy journals. Journal articles cited are from the original and translation publications of the American Institute of Physics (AIP), the producer of the SPIN database, and its member societies, as well as from other select American journals. The online availability of citations is typically simultaneous with the publication date of the corresponding journal article.
