Scopus and HEED - two new databases
We have made some changes to our database selection for 2012. Two new databases have been added (Scopus and HEED) and two databases are no longer available (AMED and Derwent).
- Scopus is a comprehensive scientific, medical, technical and social science database. Scopus gives you access to nearly 19 500 titles from aprox. 5 000 publishers, 18 500 peer-reviewed journals (including open access journals), conference proceedings and a very large amount of patent records. For more detailed information about the content of Scopus go to the Content Coverage Guide.
- HEED – Health Economic Evaluation Database – contains information on studies of cost-effectiveness and other forms of economic evaluation of medicines and other treatments and medical interventions.
AMED and Derwent are no longer available due to several years of declining use.
However, the major part of the content in AMED is also available in Scopus. So if you are looking for information on alternative medicine, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, rehabilitation and palliativ care - try Scopus!
