Databases are a good a place to begin research. They may contain articles
in journals, papers in conference proceedings, newspapers, chapters in
books, reports and reviews.Engineering
Village 2 (EV
2)
Engineering Village 2 (EV2) is the most important
Engineering research database. It has five sub databases: Compendex,
Inspec, National Technical Information Service (NTIS), Chimica and
Chemical Business NewsBase (CBNB) which can be searched individually or
together (more on each database below). It has over 16 million records,
some of which have links to full text. EV2 covers journals, conference
proceedings, unclassified government reports, and more. It also has
links to useful sites like the European Patent Office, Esp@cenet and
scientific research tool, Scirus.
Compendex (over
10 million records, 1969-) indexes articles from over 5,600 journals and
conference proceedings. It includes millions of bibliographic citations
and abstracts from thousands of engineering journals and conference
proceedings. Over 190 disciplines in the all fields of engineering, as
well as related fields in science and management are covered.
Inspec (8 million
records, 1969-) is produced by the Institution of Engineering and
Technology (IET). It indexes 3,500 journals and 1,500 conference
proceedings. Topics covered are physics, electrical engineering,
electronics, communications, control engineering, computers and
computing, IT, material science, biomedical technology, etc.
NTIS (over
2 million records, 1899- ) is a source of reports (including
unclassified ones) from US and international government agencies like
NASA, the United States Departments of Energy and Defense, the German
Federal Ministry of Research and Technology and the Japan Ministry of
International Trade and Industry.
CBNB (1985- )
provides worldwide chemical business news and information. Sources
include 300 core trade journals, newspapers, company newsletters/interim
and annual reports, books, market research reports, and press releases.
Chimica (1970- )
covers 600 journals on chemistry and chemical engineering, with emphasis
on applied and analytical chemistry. Other topics are physical
chemistry, health and safety, organic and inorganic chemistry, and
materials science.
