Biological Abstracts is a database produced by Thomson Reuters through its subsidiary BIOSIS. It includes abstracts from peer-reviewed academic journal articles in the fields of biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, botany, pre-clinical and experimental medicine, pharmacology, zoology, agriculture, and veterinary medicine published since 1926.[1][2]
It can be accessed through number of services, including Ebsco,[3] Ovid [4] and the Web of Knowledge.[1] Biological Abstracts/RRM is similar, except that it covers meetings and conferences, literature reviews, U.S. patents, books, software and other media instead of journal articles.[5] The combination of the two is marketed as BIOSIS Previews .[6]
History
The service began as a print publication in 1926, when it was formed by the union of Abstracts of Bacteriology (1917–25) , and Botanical Abstracts (1919–26), both published in Baltimore by Williams and Wilkins.[7] It was published in paperback subject sections, with abstracts usually written by scientist in the US, as a great many of articles in that period were in other languages.
The first online version was published on magnetic tape; it contained only the bibliographic information, not the text of the abstracts, and was intended as a rapid alerting service.
