Abstract Databases
What is an abstracting and indexing database?
An abstracting and indexing database (otherwise known as an abstract database) is a collection of abstracts in a specialist subject area. The abstracts are taken from a variety of journals and books, published by a range of publishers. Taylor and Francis abstract databases collect together the best and most relevant abstracts in a field and provide valuable searching and collection management tools to assist the researcher.
Why don't I get any abstract database results in my searches?
Unlike other content on informaworldTM, you need a subscription to search the abstract databases. If your search contains results in an abstract database we'll tell you how many results would be available to you if you did subscribe.
How do I search an abstract database?
First, you must have a subscription. See your librarian if you are unsure.
If you have a subscription, go to Advanced Search and make sure the databases are selected among the types of resource to search. Alternatively, go to the abstract database for your research subject - they are listed on the abstract database gateway page. From here you can do a quick search using the search box on the left of the page, or an advanced search by selecting the search tab.
I found a record in an abstract database, but it tells me the full record is unavailable. Why?
Some abstracts in the database are published by other publishers. In some cases we can provide a link to the publisher and you can access the full article there - depending on whether you have a subscription with them or not. In some cases we are unable to find the full article online.
How do I purchase a subscription to an abstract and indexing database?
Visit the abstract database in which you are interested (you can do a quick search for the database name). Select the subscribe tab and the pricing details are provided. From here you can buy a subscription online.
