Science Citation Index's Coverage of the Preclinical Science Literature

Robert K. Poyer

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1982, vol. 33, issue 5, 317-320

Abstract: A study of journal article coverage of the preclinical sciences by Science Citation Index (SCI) was done. Journal article references from 70 dissertations written in anatomy, biochemistry, immunology, microbiology, pathology, pharmacology, and physiology were checked against the author section of the Source Index to deter. mine coverage. Of the 5795 references cited from 1964 to 1977, SCI indexed 5495 of them (94.8%). Of the 300 references not indexed, 282 were to journal titles not indexed by SCI at the time they were published. There were only 18 references which were missed although the journal titles were covered. Science Citation Index should be considered a prime source of journal references when searching the preclinical science literature.
