Database Description

SciSearch^®: A Cited Reference Science Database is an international, multidisciplinary index to the literature of science, technology, biomedicine, and related disciplines produced by Thomson Scientific. SciSearch contains all of the records published in the Science Citation Index^® (SCI^®), plus additional records in engineering technology, physical sciences, agriculture, biology, environmental sciences, clinical medicine, and the life sciences.SciSearch indexes all significant items (articles, review papers, meeting abstracts, letters, editorials, book reviews, correction notices, etc.) from more than 6,100 international scientific and technical journals.

SciSearch is distinguished by many important and unique characteristics. Journal evaluation and selection is conducted on an ongoing basis. Many factors are considered when evaluating journals for coverage, ranging from the qualitative to the quantitative. The journal's basic publishing standards, its editorial content, the international diversity of its authorship, and the citation data associated with it, are all considered.

Another important feature of SciSearch is citation indexing. Citation indexing allows for the searching of cited references. Since January, 1991, author abstracts, author keywords, and KeyWords PlusTM were added as searchable fields on SciSearch.
