INSPEC for Physics and Engineering

About INSPEC database
Inspec (Information System for Physics, Electronics, and Computing) is a bibliographic database of international research in the fields of science technology and engineering. The database is produced by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and supplied by FIZ Karlsruhe. It covers the following subjects:
Atomic and Molecular Physics

Astronomy and Astrophysics

Condensed Matter Physics

Control Engineering

Computers and Computing

Communications

Electrical Engineering

Electronics

Electromagnetic Fields

Engineering Mathematics and Materials Science

Fluids, Plasmas and Electric Discharges

Geophysics

Information Technology

Magnetic and Superconducting Materials and Devices

Manufacturing and production engineering

Nuclear Physics

Numerical Analysis and Theoretical Computing

Power Systems and Applications

System and Control Theory
It also includes research published in interdisciplinary subjects such as materials science, geophysics, biomedical engineering, biophysics, and environmental science.
Inspec database contains articles published in scientific journals, conference proceedings, books, technical reports, dissertations and patents (until 1976). Content from about 4200 journals, 20000 reports and dissertations, and about 2000 conferences is indexed and added to the databases each year.

The database includes content from 1969-to date and is updated weekly.


Inspec is used by researchers to find references of published research in their subject field. The database is available via WebSPIRS interface, which allows searching by keyword, as well as browsing using subject Thesaurus and Indexes. The indexes include Classification code, Treatment codes, Chemical Substance Index, Numerical Data Index, and Astronomical Object Index. In addition to this there are also Author and Journal Title Indexes.

Tutorial on searching INSPEC database


This is a step by step guide to searching Inspec database using

Advanced Search screen. Online tutorial is located on the Introduction

page. Please take a short time to run a example search if you are

not familiar with ERL WebSPIRS 5 interface.


INSPEC Advanced Search
