  • #17 Journal coverage, when Embase Classic is included, back to 1947Over 23 million records, including over one million records from Embase ClassicOver 7,500 journals from over 90 countries are currently indexed, including all MEDLINE titlesOver 2,000 journals are unique to Embase, i.e. are not available from MEDLINEEach year over 900,000 records are added to Embase, with on average more than 3,500 records each working dayCoverage includes more than 100,000 conference abstracts indexed from over 500 conferences each year (from 2009)In addition, Embase now includes indexed Articles in Press and In-Process records for over 20% and 50% of records respectivelyYou can search EMBASE, EMBASE Classic, MEDLINE or all databases together without the need for de-duplication
  • #18 Embase Classic is not part of the Embase subscription, it requires a separate subscription to the archival materialOld Medline was added in August 2009 and is part of the Embase package. If you purchase Embase Classic, Old Medline is deduplicated.Embase journal content is made up of 7,000 journals, 5,000 from Embase and 2,000 from Medline.Articles in Press1000 journals from core publishers (Elsevier, Springer, Karger, Nature, Cambridge University Press, IEEE)Introduced Oct 2009; will enhance currency Conference AbstractsConference Abstracts published in Journal Supplements50,000 abstracts per yearTopics corresponding to core areas for unique content:Pharmacology, Oncology, Cardiology, Neurology,Endocrinology, Immunology, Infectious diseasesAdditional key conferences in core areas under investigation (start end 2009)Pre-Embase was added from 2009 and these are recieved by Embase but NOT fully indexed.
  • #21 You can search EMBASE, EMBASE Classic, MEDLINE or all databases together without the need for de-duplication
  • #24 Comprehensive and polyhierarchically structured, Emtree provides a consistent description of all biomedical terminology, allowing unrivaled drug and disease indexing.
  • #25 Easy to search: each term has on average more than four synonyms, enabling easy mapping of your search terms. Comprehensive drug searching: Emtree includes chemical names, trade names, and laboratory/research codes as well as generic names. Up-to-date: the latest drugs, diseases, organisms and procedures are indexed as candidate terms throughout the year, and the most frequently used terms are added annually to Emtree. This means you can search using even the newest terms. Explosion (tree) searching: facilitated by Emtree's extensive hierarchical structure, with up to 12 levels, you can broaden and narrow your search. Polyhierarchical structure: no need to know "where" terms are located in the Emtree structure, the Emtree tool will guide you. Natural language terminology: no need to know "how" terms are defined in Emtree, just use natural language. Inclusive terminology: includes all MeSH terms and many Enzyme Commission (EC) numbers, so you can search using these terms as well.
