The library has acquired permanent access to CAB Abstracts, after a successful trial earlier this year. CAB Abstracts is a leading applied life sciences database with over 16 million records covering agriculture, environment, human health, and more.
CAB Abstracts is a bibliographic database produced by CABI, an international non-profit organisation that provides scientific information and expertise in agriculture, environmental science, and health (such as refugee health, women's health, and public health).
The database indexes thousands of core scientific journals and includes a wide range of non-journal literature. This includes publications from over 120 countries, such as annual reports, books, conference proceedings, and technical bulletins.
CAB Abstracts also provides access to more than a million full-text documents through the CABI full-text repository. A unique feature of CAB Abstracts is its global coverage, including research from the Global South, which is often underrepresented in other databases. 49% of the publishers of CAB Abstract's full-text journal content is located in Asia, 27% in Europe, 10% in Central and South America, 6% in North America, 7% in Africa, and 1% in Oceania.
The subscription to CAB Abstracts provides access for 3 simultaneous users.
