Biological Abstract (BIOSIS)

BIOSIS Previews^® contains citations from Biological Abstracts^® (BA), and Biological Abstracts/Reports, Reviews, and Meetings^® (BA/RRM) (formerly BioResearch Index^®), the major publications of BIOSIS^®. Together, these publications constitute the major English-language service providing comprehensive worldwide coverage of research in the biological and biomedical sciences. Biological Abstracts includes approximately 350,000 accounts of original research yearly from nearly 6,000 primary journal and monograph titles. Biological Abstracts/RRM includes an additional 200,000+ citations a year from meeting abstracts, reviews, books, book chapters, notes, letters, selected institutional and government reports, and research communications. U.S. patents are included from 1986 through 1989 and from 1994 to the present.

Abstracts are available for records from the Biological Abstracts portion of the database starting in mid-1976 and for book synopses in BA/RRM starting in 1985. Most BA/RRM records do not contain abstracts
