CAB Abstracts hits six million records

CABI’s life sciences bibliographic database, CAB Abstracts, has reached six million records. This important milestone means that users have a complete perspective of international research through access to an ever increasing number of key scientific articles.

“The six million record milestone shows how we continue to expand our service and now we also include the full text of hard-to-find literature, 65,000 articles to date, to add further value for our customers,” said Dr Shaun Hobbs, Global Director of Content Development at CABI.

CAB Abstracts is a comprehensive bibliographic, abstracting and indexing database that covers over 150 countries, and over 50 languages. The subject coverage is extensive, including all aspects of agriculture, environment, veterinary sciences, applied economics, food science and nutrition.

As well as selecting from thousands of core scientific journals, CAB Abstracts also offers extensive coverage of  ‘grey’ literature from around the world including: annual reports, general reports, books/book chapters, handbooks, bulletins, monographs, conference proceedings, newsletters, discussion papers, technical information, field notes and theses.

CAB Abstracts full text content consists of journal articles, conference papers and reports – 75% of which are not available electronically anywhere else.

With the PubMed redesign, the instructions for exporting citations from PubMed to EndNote have changed slightly.

Step-by-step instructions:

The new PubMed has arrived.

Major changes include:

Limits, History, and Details tabs have been consolidated into the Advanced Search.

MeSH terms available on the Abstract Display. [No more Citation display or AbstractPlus display.]

Results filters have been moved to the right.

The link to the Clipboard only displays if there are items in the Clipboard.

Searching capabilities (automatic term mapping; etc.) remain the same.

More information can be found in NLM’s Technical Bulletin and in PubMed’s tutorials
