AIP Thesaurus – facilitates precise retrieval. Browse Scitation content quickly and easily by topic by selecting broad categories or more specific subdisciplines.
Scitation User Guide - SciTech ConnectConsolidates the of OSTI's Information Bridge and Energy Citations Database. Provides access to over 275,000 full-text documents and bibliographic citations of Department of Energy (DOE) research report literature. Documents are primarily from 1991 forward.
- SPIE Digital Library This link opens in a new windowThe world's largest collection of optics and photonics applied research. SPIE Journals publish peer-reviewed articles on applied research in optics and photonics. Covering topics such as optical engineering, electronic imaging, biomedical optics, microlithography, remote sensing, and nanophotonics
Databases for ePrints and Preprints
Many articles are available as preprints or eprints before actual publication. Use one of these databases to find the "gray literature."
- arXivOpen access to 680,349 e-prints in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Quantitative Biology, Quantitative Finance and Statistics
- ICTP Preprints Archive10,000+ articles in Applied Physics, Condensed Matter and Statistical Physics, Earth System Physics, High Energy, Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics and Mathematics, have been issued since 1964.
- SPIRESINSPIRE is an upgrade of the SPIRES High Energy Physics (HEP) database, which includes HEP information from many sources; you can also search the arXiv through the INSPIRE interface. INSPIRE is a collaboration between SLAC, CERN, Fermilab, and DESY. Includes a database of experiments, videos and jobs in the HEP community.
