Plus enhancements coming to Inspec
Coming in early July to Inspec via ISI
Web of Knowledge — new capabilities that provide you with more
valuable content, and new searching and analytical options:
Inspec Archive
The entire backfile of Science Abstracts Journals — the precursor
to the Inspec database – is now available in digitized, fully searchable
form. This new option lets your users access over 70 additional years of international
scientific and technical literature in physics, electrical engineering, electronics,
computing and control engineering. And, only via ISI Web of Knowledge*,
they’ll be able to see citing information for these historic records.
Far more usable, flexible, durable and readily available than the print volumes,
this valuable archive helps you save storage costs, space, and time. This is
the information from 176 print volumes that date from 1968 back to Volume I
in 1898, which includes 873,700 bibliographic records, plus indexing.
The Inspec archive is especially useful to:
- Science academics
- Biographers and historians
- Patent examiners
- Researchers and engineers
Other enhancements to Inspec:
- Ability to search by publication year in Advanced Search mode – enables
users to refine searches by time frame
- Additional field added to the Analyze tool – Country/Territory –
enables users to drill down in results to see which country or territory is
publishing the most research in a topic
- Link directly from a book chapter record to the parent book record in Inspec
– Seeing both the chapter record and then linking to the record for
the entire book enables the researcher to put both in context and make sure
that nothing from that book has been missed

Scientific account representative.
