Water Resources Abstracts provides summaries of the world's technical and scientific literature on water-related topics covering the characteristics, conservation, control, pollution, treatment, use and management of water resources. Abstracts are drawn from journals, books, conference proceedings, and technical reports in the physical and life sciences, as well as from engineering, legal and government publications. This database, which concentrates on water supply and water treatment, complements the Aquatic Sciences & Fisheries Abstracts database, ASFA, where there is greater coverage of the marine environment and biological material. Coverage includes: Groundwater, Estuaries, Erosion and sedimentation, Water supply and conservation, and Water quality management from 1967 to present. See Citation Managers for instructions on downloading citation filters for CSA Illumina.

BIOSIS Previews (1993-Present) is the online version of Biological Abstracts and Biological Abstracts/RRM (Reports, Reviews, and Meetings), the largest collection of biological sciences records in the world. BIOSIS Previews contains references to primary journal literature on vital biological research, medical research findings, and discoveries of new organisms. It contains references to: * Traditional biology (botany, ecology, and zoology), * Interdisciplinary areas (biochemistry, biomedicine, and biotechnology), and * Related areas (instrumentation and methods)
ISI Current Contents Connect provides access to the most recently published scientific publications, books and web sites; published from 1998 to present.
The Journal Citation Reports Web is an essential, comprehensive, and unique resource tool for journal evaluation, using citation data drawn from over 8,400 journals from over 3,000 publishers worldwide. It is the only source of citation data on journals, and includes virtually all specialties in the areas of science, technology, and social sciences. JCR can show you the: highest impact journals, most frequently used journals, hottest journals, largest journals. ISI Web of Knowledge (1984-present) and Journal Citation Reports (2000-2006) are available through a paid subscription to all NOAA personnel within the Southeast. See Bibliographic Managers for instructions on downloading citation filters for Web of Science.
ISI Web of Knowledge (1984-Present) consists of five high-quality databases containing information gathered from thousands of scholarly journals in all areas of research: Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, Arts & Humanities Citation Index, Index Chemicus, Current Chemical Reactions. The three citation databases contain the references cited by the authors of the journal articles they cover. You can use these cited references as search terms. A cited reference search enables you to use a published work that you know to find other, later works that cite it. In addition to cited reference searching, you can search these databases by topic, author, source title, and address. The two chemistry databases contain graphic representations of the structures and reactions reported in the journal articles they cover. You can search these databases by structure, by compound/reaction details, and by bibliographic information (topic, author, source title, address).
