EMBASE: Now with documents starting from 1947

We integrated the new documents from the early volumes into the database ourselves. In order to include them in your enquiry, simply use the new database key EM47. This way, you search includes the entire document inventory starting from 1947. The previously known segments still exist (see Table).

Database Segment EMBASE

Characteristics of EMBASE ClassicFiles

The ClassicFiles differ from other EMBASE documents in 2 points:

• The ClassicFiles do not include data fields introduced after 1973: e.g. Drug Trade Name (DN), Drug Manufacturer's Name (MN), Common Device Name (CDEV), Device Manufacturer's Name (DMN), Sequence Data (SD)
• Although the ClassicFiles are indexed and contain controlled terms (CT), qualifiers cannot be used to restrict the CT to specific aspects.

Standing orders and stored search profiles

The previous database keys still exist. Thus, your standing orders and stored search profiles are still processed in the same manner.

In the DIMDI ClassicSearch, you can check if your standing orders or stored search profiles also get hits in the ClassicFiles. To do so, simply proceed according to our instructions (see below).

We continue to offer the preliminary database to EMBASE separately as EMBASE Alert (database key EA08). Here, you will find current supporting documents that will be incorporated in EMBASE fully indexed a few weeks later.
