Relevant Databases for the Essay Assignment
MedLine
/ PubMed | User
Guide
Produced by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, the Medline database
is widely recognized as the premier source for bibliographic coverage of
biomedical literature. Medline encompasses information from Index Medicus,
Index to Dental Literature, and International Nursing Index, as well as
other sources of coverage in the areas of communication disorders,
population biology, and reproductive biology. More than 11 million records
from more than 4,600 journals are indexed and abstracted. Medline uses OVID
software.
PubMed is the free version of MedLine that
exists on the web and covers the exact same material as MedLine. The
advantage of using MedLine over PubMed is that MedLine has been customised
for the University of Auckland and links through to all available electronic
journals. As PubMed is a free database on the Internet customisation for the
University of Auckland is not possible.
Biological
Abstracts | User
Guide
Biological Abstracts is an international database on biology, clinical
and experimental medicine, biochemistry and biotechnology. It indexes and
abstracts articles in 6,500 serials from over 100 countries and is produced
in the United States by BIOSIS.
Scopus
Scopus is the largest and most powerful database subscribed to by the
University. It includes the same content as does Medline (but without the
thesaurus feature) and has over 27 million science items from over 15 000
peer-reveiwed journals from 4000 publishers. Abstract records begin from
1966 and most citations have links to full text via Science Direct. Times
cited information (cites from 1996 on) are given for most articles.
Web
of Science | User
Guide
Also known as the Science Citation Index, The Web of Science is a
mutlidisciplinary database listing 20 million items from over 8000 journals.
Most items are in the Sciences, but it is also useful for the Social
Sciences, Arts & Humanities. Web of Science now also includes the
database Current Contents.

The Internet as an Information Source
Avoid citing internet sources - they may contain useful information and
images but are not peer
reviewed and should therefore be interpreted with caution. However,
the Internet can provide useful background reading for unfamiliar topics.
You can
still use scientific journals that are published on-line.
