BIOSIS What is Biosis : ( BIO science Information services ) In the early 1920 a group of biologists recognized the need for an centralized sours in life science information that would provide accurate indexed references and abstracts in published scientific literature. That small group of biologists established the organization which now known worldwide as BIOSIS . BIOSIS is an not for profit publisher for Biological Abstracts and indexing service for the life sciences .
Q/ What are the document types Indexed ? Books and Monographs . Conferences , Symposia , Meetings . Journal Articles . Patents .
Subject Coverage Agriculture Anatomy Botany Genetics Biochemistry Bioengineering Biophysics Biotechnology Microbiology Cellbiology Systematic Biology Physiology Pathology Toxicology Bacteriology
What is the Authority file ? The Authority file builds on the strengths of natural language and is a list of controlled vocabulary by BIOSIS to provide consistent indexing . What is the best way for search strategy ? 1. Pose the question . 2. Identify the main topics . 3. Determine how you search the main topics . 4. Curry out the search . 5. Review result and modify if necessary . When authority file will be in BIOSIS database ? Subjects consider the use of controlled vocabulary in BIOSIS database
