Embase: new look and enhanced content (02 . 12 . 2009)
Announcement by Elsevier:
Dear Customer,
Embase has
been re-launched to be a powerful resource providing deep insights and answers
to biomedical researchers.
The new
release includes:
- Indexed drug and disease
relationships
- Indexed conference abstracts
- Quick and easy refining of
results
To signify
the changes in the product, we are giving it a new, fresh look and feel.
Benefits:
Indexed
Drug and Disease Relationships
You are
now able to see in your search results indexed relationships for the 5 most
often requested drug and disease concepts. Two of these relate drugs with diseases:
Adverse Drug Reaction and Drug Therapy; and three relate drugs with
drugs: Drug Combination, Drug Comparison, Drug Interaction.
Relationships have been indexed since 2007, with the exception of Drug Therapy,
which began in 2009.
Drug and
disease relationships help you assess the relevance of the article without
consulting the full text. The inclusion of drug and disease relationships
enables you to pin-point precise information, which could otherwise only be
found by reading the full text.
Linking of
drug and disease concepts is unique to Embase on www.embase.com.
Indexed
Conference Abstracts
With the latest
release, nearly 10,000 conference abstracts are searchable in Embase. This will
grow to an estimated 50,000 abstracts by the end of the year.
Together
with the Indexed Articles in Press introduced in October, the conference
abstracts significantly enhance currency and comprehensiveness of Embase.
Conference abstracts in Embase serve as an early alert, allowing you to keep
track of competitors or collaborators in your field of research, prior to their
work being published as a full article.
Indexed conference abstracts are unique to Embase on www.embase.com.
Refine
Results Tool
The Refine
Results Tool helps you limit your results using three common Bibliometric
parameters: Journal Name, Publication Type and Year of Publication.
Refining on Biomedical parameters will follow in forthcoming releases.
This new
feature will enable you quickly and easily to refine your results by pointing and
clicking.
Further
details can be found in the release fact sheet. Informative videos may be viewed from
our info site. Please direct any questions, comments or
concerns to your local helpdesk.
