Life sciences and biomedical research covering pre-clinical and experimental research, methods and instrumentation, animal studies, and more. Access content from journals, meetings, patents, and books. Search precisely with BCI indexing and enhanced MeSH terms. Backfiles available to 1926.
This is the most complete access to the Medline database and other databases from the National Library of Medicine
Databases include MEDLINE Books@Ovid, Health and Psychosocial Instruments, Ovid Healthstar, International Pharmaceutical Abstracts, Primal Pictures Silver and Platinum Package Perpetual Access, Global Health science as they relate to medicine and health care. Information is indexed from approximately 3,900 journals published world-wide.
Access information in health science and medical fields from MEDLINE, and PreMEDLINE; from 1950 to present. This link to PubMed includes access to USC paid for resources.
Simultaneous searching with links to fulltext sources (if those sources are available) for Compendex and Inspec Compendex: Indexes to journals, conferences, technical reports of engineering and applied science; from 1884 to present; updated weekly.
INSPEC
Abstracts of scientific literature in electrical engineering, electronics, physics, control engineering, information technology, communications, computers, computing, and manufacturing and production engineering; from 1896 to present; update monthly
Ei covers literature that makes a definite contribution to knowledge in the subject areas of engineering and applied science. About half the citations (from 2600 journals and conferences) include abstracts and indexing in the records. Online coverage is from 1884 to the present, and files are updated weekly. The highest percentages of journal literature are in the fields of chemical and process engineering (15%), computers and data processing (12%), applied physics (11%), and electronics and communication (12%) In addition Compendex includes civil engineering (6%) and mechanical engineering (6%). USC's subscription to the Engineering Village 2 (EV2) platform includes access to the Compendex and Inspec databases.
Full text IEEE publications (journals and conference proceedings) and over 900 IEEE standards; from 1988 to present (some content back to 1950's). Contains the IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering as well as the IEEE Reviews in Biomedical Engineering.
Provides Science Citation Index (1900 - present), Conference Proceedings Citation Index, Journal Citation Reports, and Essential Science Indicators databases. Searches citations in major journals across scientific disciplines. Tracks the number of times articles and authors are cited by others.
Secondary or general databases
These resources are best used when you're looking for information with a more general perspective of developments in biomedical engineering, particularly those articles written for public interest.
The complete contents of approximately 200 full-text journals indexed in this database are included in OmniFile Full Text. Topics include chemistry, engineering, geology, physics, math, robotics, and neural networks.
