BIOSIS Citation Index

BIOSIS

• Widest collection of life sciences fields in the world

agriculture, biodiversity, biotechnology, botany, drug discovery, gene therapy, marine biology, wildlife conservation, zoology

• BIOSIS Indexing

Degreed biologists – understanding of the content – index the records in BIOSIS databases.

Relational Indexing - When BIOSIS indexes a publication, it preserves the keywords from the original document (natural language) in context by placing them into the appropriate field - such as title, author, organism, gene name, etc.

Combinations of controlled-vocabulary terms and free-text terminology from the document itself provides for a greater level of “usability”.

BIOSIS – Specialized Indexing

Key bibliographic data for journals, meetings, books, patents.

Also, BIOSIS-unique value-added fields :

Major Concepts Concept Code(s)

Taxonomic Data Disease Data

Chemical Data Gene Name Data

Sequence Data Geographic Data

Geologic Time Data Methods and Equipment Data

Parts & Structure Data Miscellaneous Descriptors

All BIOSIS special indexing is presented in easy to read tables
