Description
GEOBASE
The Bibliographic database for the Earth, Geographical and Ecological Sciences
GEOBASE is a unique
multidisciplinary database supplying bibliographic information and abstracts for development studies, the Earth sciences, ecology, geomechanics,
human geography, and oceanography. The database provides current coverage of almost 2,000 international journals, including both peer-reviewed
titles and trade publications, and provides archival coverage of several thousand additional journal titles and books. GEOBASE contains
over 1.4 million records from 1980 to present, with more than 100,000 citations and abstracts added annually (almost 985 of all records
include abstracts). The database is available electronically either online (which includes the World Wide Web), or on CD-ROM.
GEOBASE
is unequalled in its coverage of international literature. Papers are selected, read and classified using a unique classification scheme
that is versatile and updated annually to adapt coverage to current research trends. The material covered includes refereed scientific
papers; trade journal and magazine articles, product reviews, directories and any other relevant material. As well as providing comprehensive
coverage of the core scientific and technical periodicals, GEOBASE has a unique coverage of non-English language and less readily available
publications including books, conference proceedings and reports, making this the best resource available for multidisciplinary searches
of international literature. The content crosses over subject, language and cultural boundaries, providing a unique research tool to
users.
