File Description [top]

EMBASE AlertTM is a current awareness pharmacological and biomedical literature database renowned for its coverage of the drug-related literature. Updated weekly it contains the most recent 8 weeks' worth of data.

Previously, EMBASE AlertTM contained only bibliographic records that were not indexed. In 2012, Article in Press (AIP) records were added to the file, which are the very first version of an Embase record. AIP records are machine-indexed using EMTREE thesaurus terms, as are the original bibliographic records.

EMBASE Alert is not cumulative, but rather a "rolling" file; as a new update is added each week, the oldest week is deleted. AIP records are generally overwritten by standard Embase Alert records. Citations can then be found with full indexing in EMBASETM (File 72) just a few weeks following their appearance in EMBASE Alert.

Citations from more than 5,000 journals from about 70 countries are included.



Tips [top]

USE FILE 172

USE THE ONLINE THESAURUS

to find Embase preferred terms.

USE LIMITS

to restrict search results to English (/ENG) or to records containing abstracts (/ABS).
