  11. ProQuest CSA Traditional Strength: Discipline Orientated Databases Indexing & Abstracting

  12. Value of A&I • Very comprehensive literature reviews across the entire discipline – A&I has greater breadth, depth and scope • International in scope and multilingual (with abstracts in English) • Content in A&I databases is not under embargo • Indexing standards applied to specialist content sets (such as controlled vocabulary) assist in retrieval of relevant resources • Suitability for researchers’ workflow ….

  13. The Value in Abstracts: Limited Time to Scan a Discipline • Exponential growth of articles to read per year • “Faculty report nearly twice as many readings as they did thirty years ago” A1 Tenopir,CarolA1 King,Donald W.T1 Electronic Journals and Changes in Scholarly Article Seeking and Reading Patterns JF D-Lib Magazine • Often the scientist’s goal “is not to find an article to read, but rather to find, assess, and exploit a range of information by scanning portions of many articles”. • T1 Strategic Reading, Ontologies, and the Future of Scientific Publishing -- Renear and Palmer 325 (5942): 828 -- Science VO 2009IS 12/8/2009NO id: 1 ED http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/325/5942/828

  14. Traditional Abstract & Indexing Components ASFA & Oceanic Abstracts

  15. ASFA: Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts Database • Overwhelmingly cited by a majority of aquatic science librarians as their primary database, the ASFA series is the premier reference in the field of aquatic resources. Input to ASFA is provided by a growing international network of information centers monitoring over 7,000 serial publications, books, reports, conference proceedings, translations and limited distribution literature. ASFA is a component of the Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Information System (ASFIS), formed by four United Nations agency sponsors of ASFA and a network of international and national partners. Sources covered include over 3,000 periodicals, conference proceedings, technical reports, trade journal/newsletter items, patents, books, and press releases. Subject Coverage Dates of Coverage 1971 - current. Update Frequency Monthly, with approximately 3,700 new records added. Size Over 1,730,106 records as of April 2014 • aquaculture • aquatic organisms • aquatic pollution • brackish water environments • conservation • environmental quality • fisheries • freshwater environments • limnology • marine biotechnology • marine environments • meteorology • oceanography • policy and legislation • wildlife management

  17. Dates of Coverage 1981 - current Update Frequency Monthly, with approximately 1,209 new records added Size Over 438,589 records as of February 2011 Print Equivalent Oceanic Abstracts

  18. Oceanic Abstracts Starting its 33rd year, Oceanic Abstracts is focused exclusively on worldwide technical literature pertaining to the marine and brackish-water environment. The database has long been recognized as a leading source of information on topics relating to oceans. The database focuses on marine biology and physical oceanography, fisheries, aquaculture, non-living resources, meteorology and geology, plus environmental, technological, and legislative topics. This database is totally comprehensive in its coverage of living and non-living resources, meteorology and geology, plus environmental, technological, and legislative topics. Subject Coverage Dates of Coverage 1960 - current Update Frequency Monthly, with approximately 700 new records added Size Over 410,000 records as of February 2014 Source: App. 300 journals • * Biological Oceanography • * Ecology • * Physical and chemical oceanography • * Marine geology • * Geophysics • * Geochemistry • * Marine pollution • * Nonliving marine resources • * Navigation and communications • * Maritime law • * Desalination • * Ships • * Shipping • * Marine biology (Note Oceanic Abstracts is not included in ASFA but is part of ProQuest Aquatic Science Collection)

  19. Dates of Coverage 1967 - current Update Frequency Monthly, with approximately 1,000 new records added Size Over 660,000 records as of February 2014

  20. Recent Abstract & Indexing Innovation Illustrata & Deep Indexing

  21. Recent Innovations: Deep Indexing 2007 CODiE Award Winner: Best Online Science & Technology Service

  22. Why Index Tables & Figures? • Images are included in Scientific and Technical articles only because they illustrate something fundamental about the research field work, experiment findings or conclusions • Distilled essence of the research – the closest thing to the raw datasets • Articles with the right kinds of objects quickly establish the relevance of the related data and findings • These objects are most often invisible using traditional article-level and full-text searching

  23. Deep Indexing: Indexing Process • Identification of tables and figures (images, charts, maps, etc.) found within a scholarly article • Extraction of critical data and information within and surrounding each table or figure (including full caption) to provide the indexing • Assignment of a category

  24. Search Results 5995 hits … From a regular keyword search • Options to narrow results by: • Date • Scholarly Journals • Full text • Source Type • And more ... • Indexed Images

  25. Deep Indexing Results 173 hits … more targeted hits when we filter by indexed figures & tables results

  26. Deep Indexing Result – showing indexing Options to email, cite, save in My Research, Save to PPT or Tag Object descriptors, Authors, and Publication are hyperlinked for lateral searching
