 The Bibliographic database for the Earth, Geographical and Ecological Sciences
Imprint: ELSEVIER/GEO ABSTRACTS
Description
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.
