Record View

For each record displayed, four formats are available: Citations Only, Citations and Abstracts, Short Record and Full Record. Clicking the record title displays the record in Full Record format, by default. To change record formats, click the drop down menu from within the Full Record format and select the preferred view format. You can also access the Full text, when available, from the View Results page.

  • Citations Only: Displays the bibliographic citations (journal title, authors, volume number, issue number, page number, publication year and full text links
  • Citations and Abstracts: Displays the bibliographic citations and the abstract of the articles indexed.
  • Short Record: Displays the bibliographic citation and abstract, together with Drug, Disease and Other Index Terms and links to Author e-mail Addresses. Also: correspondence address and author keywords
  • Full Record: Displays a full range of data fields (see Table below for complete list). Internal links are available for some of these fields.

See Fields and Field Abbreviations for a complete list of possible with codes for searching when available.
 
The following links are available in both Short and Full Records:

  • Author name: Click any author name to search for other records with the same author name and initials. To find records where the same author has published with more or less initials, expand your search using Find Author.
  • Full Text links: When available, the Full text link connects to a URL with the full text for the record. This URL may be a publisher site (e.g. ScienceDirect) or an intermediary such as CrossRef or Ingenta Select. Whether or not you can access the full text is subject to the terms of your subscription to that site. In some cases the publisher offers free access to full text. To find out which publisher websites your organization subscribes to, ask your central library or information management department. What if you do not have the required subscription? Some publishers have a pay-per-view system allowing non-subscribers to pay a fee to read articles on their websites. When you click Full Text from and you do not have access to the full text on a publisher's website, you should see a page listing the options available for non-subscribers.
  • Drug Terms: Major focus drug terms are indicated with bold text. Drugs included in your search profile are highlighted in yellow; drugs found as the result of an explosion search are highlighted in green. Clicking on the icon beside each drug will show the Emtree hierarchy for that drug (or for candidate terms simply open Emtree).

Many drug terms are underlined to indicate that subheadings have been indexed for that drug. Clicking on the drug term will open its related Key Subheadings and/or Other Subheadings. For Key Subheadings, additional related information is displayed in tabular format. All other subheadings are listed under Other Subheadings.

  • Disease Terms: Major focus disease terms are indicated with bold text. Diseases included in your search profile are highlighted in yellow; diseases found as the result of an explosion search are highlighted in green. Clicking on the icon beside each disease will show the Emtree hierarchy for that disease (or for candidate terms simply open Emtree).

 
Many disease terms are underlined to indicate that subheadings have been indexed for that disease. Clicking on the disease term will open its related Key Subheadings and/or Other Subheadings. For Key Subheadings, additional related information is displayed in tabular format. All other subheadings are listed under Other Subheadings. 
 

  • Other Terms: All other index terms (i.e. terms that are neither drugs nor diseases) are displayed as Other Terms. Major focus index terms are indicated with bold text. If you searched for a specific index term, it is highlighted in yellow, diseases found as the result of an explosion search are highlighted in green. Clicking on the icon beside each term will show the Emtree hierarchy for that term (or for candidate terms simply open Emtree).
  • Author emails: this link allows you to send an email directly to an author. Email links are those given in the article at publication time. They are not updated, and can change without notice.

In addition, the following link is available from Full Records (listed under Additional Information):

  • Molecular Sequence Numbers: click these to access the GenBank record at the United States National Center for the Biotechnology Information (NCBI) for the selected gene or protein sequence. Molecular Sequence Numbers are available in Embase from 1998 forward.
