Physics, astronomy
Here you can find a structured compilation of scientifically relevant new acquisitions and electronic media for the fields of physics and astronomy.
These databases (selection) support you in your studies and research:
- external pageWeb of Science – Interdisciplinary database including the Derwent Innovations Index (patents), Web of Science Core Collection (journal articles), Science Citation Index and Journal Citation Reports – Further information
- external pageScopus – Interdisciplinary, the most comprehensive bibliographic database with respect to the number of journals covered, particular focus on non-anglophone literature, enables citation analyses and includes unique author IDs – Further information
- external pageINSPEC – Abstracts giving access to the contents of documents in the fields of physics, engineering sciences and information technology, varied search and analysis options for scientific publications – Further information
- external pageAstrophysics Data System (ADS) – Astronomy, physics and geophysics: abstracts and full-text versions as a possible alternative to searching the Web of Science and INSPEC
- external pageSPIE Digital Library – Full-text versions of SPIE publications (journals and proceedings) from 1998 onwards, summaries and citations from SPIE publications from 1995 onwards
