Periodical Articles and Conference Papers
New developments and current research are often first presented as conference papers and/or periodical articles. You will also find product reviews, descriptions of methodology, or information on innovations in or applications of particular processes, systems and devices. The following are indexes, abstracts or full-text repositories which access this literature:
- Applied Science and Technology Full Text (1983-current w/abstracts since 1994)Best source for finding product reviews and news related (engineering) information. Indexes articles in 800 English-language periodicals. The print version, Applied Science and Technology Index, is available from 1958-2000 at TA 1 .I5, with an earlier title, Industrial Arts Index, available 1913-1957, with some missing issues.
- Compendex (1969-current) Compendex covers periodical articles and conference papers for all engineering disciplines. This is a good source for current and past research, with over 5000 serials included. Print version is ENGINEERING INDEX, (1959-2000) located at TA1 .E5.
Compendex, GEOBASE and INSPEC are searched jointly on the Engineering Village Platform. To search only one of the databases, on the advanced search page, remove the check in the box to the left of the database you do not wish to search by clicking on the box. The check mark will be removed and that database will not be searched. - ScienceDirect (1997-current)Contains full-text articles from over 1700 journals published by Elsevier. Although the content is multi-disciplinary, the primary focus is science, engineering and medicine. Table of contents information is available for publication years before 1997.
- Web of Science (1900-current)This multi-discplinary index includes article information from approximately 8,500 journals in sciences, engineering, social sciences, arts and humanities.
