Bibliographic Databases

Online Contents Physics
Online Contents Physics is a subject oriented selection of table of contents data from the SwetsBlackwell Database Online Contents. It also include the table of contents data of journals held by the physics special subject collection of the TIB/UB Hannover. The data does include authors and titles of papers but no abstracts. Universities and other scientific institutions in Germany get free access to Online Contents Physics.

INSPEC
The INSPEC database contains citations with abstracts to world physics, electronics and electrical engineering, computers and computing, and control theory and technology literature including journals, conference proceedings, books, dissertations, and reports.

The Web of Science
The Web of Science provides access to the Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Arts and Humanities Citation Index, three wellknown databases of the Institute for Scientific Information. A characteristic of these indexes is the linkage of articles by cited references. That's why not only a search for articles by subject term, author name, journal title, or author affiliation may be performed but also a search for articles that cite an author or work. Physics literature is to be found in the Science Citation Index Expanded database.
