• Electronics and Communications Abstracts - Many scientific discoveries start here - with new hardware applications that make the research possible. Advances in electronics and communications are constantly leading to important new instrumentation for research. And the comprehensive guide to ongoing work in this field is Electronics and Communications Abstracts - now expanded and jointly published with Engineering Information. In short, the journal tracks every relevant source of information necessary to keep abreast of this complex, highly competitive discipline. This database provides international coverage with the monitoring of over 3,000 serial titles as well as numerous non-serial publications. The database is indexed using a master authority file of about 28,000 controlled-vocabulary terms.
