File Description [top]

Wilson Business Abstracts^TM provides indexing and abstracting for more than 400 English- language general business periodicals and trade journals. The Wall Street Journal (Eastern edition) and the business section of The New York Times (late New York edition) are indexed and abstracted. All articles of at least one column in length are indexed. In addition, detailed abstracts ranging from 50 to 150 words are included. Types of material indexed include feature articles, corporate profiles, product reviews, interviews, biographical sketches, obituaries, and book reviews. Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes (1987) provide additional access to information about specific industries and business firms. The database corresponds to the indexing in Business Periodicals Index (BPI).
