Aerospace Engineering Research Guide

Journal Articles - Abstracts and Indexes

Aerospace Database
Provides bibliographic coverage of basic and applied research in aeronautics, astronautics, and space sciences. The database also covers technology development and applications in complementary and supporting fields such as chemistry, geosciences, physics, communications, and electronics. In addition to periodic literature, the database also includes coverage of reports issued by NASA, other U.S. government agencies, international institutions, universities, and private firms.

AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics)
AIAA Electronic Library provides complete (full-text) access to journals and papers published by AIAA. Journal titles include AIAA Journal, Journal of Aircraft, Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics, and others. Papers include approximately 3,500 papers each year from 20 to 30 technical conferences covering all aspects of aerospace.

Applied Science and Technology Full Text
The online version of Applied Science and Technology Index is called Applied Science & Technology Full Text. It provides the complete indexing of the Wilson Applied Science and Technology database with full image text for 127 titles. The database provides students, faculty and working engineers with essential resources in a wide range of disciplines.

Engineering Village 2
This includes Compendex which is the title of the comprehensive electronic version of Engineering Index. The database adds about 220,000 abstracts yearly. Abstracts come from 2,600 engineering journals, conferences, and reports. All areas of engineering are covered. Approximately 22% of the database is conference literature, and 90% of the source documents are in English. Searching may be done by subject term, keyword, author, and serial title, and can be restricted to certain document types and dates. Engineering Village 2 is a web-based information service that offers a wide range of quality resources for information specialists, professionals, and researchers working in the applied science and engineering fields. Older paper issues of Engineering Index (prior to the 1970 start of Compendex ) are also available.

The following database is also available from Engineering Village 2:
ENGnetBASE Provides access to some of the world's leading engineering handbooks. Currently, more than 163 online titles are available.
