INSPEC® (Information Science for Physics, Electronics, and Computing) is a bibliographic database that provides access to worldwide literature on physics, electrical engineering and electronics, control theory and technology, and computers and computing. Citation and abstracts are in English. Records contain bibliographic information, indexing terms, abstracts, property information, and element terms and are all searchable. A Physical Properties (/PHP) thesaurus and the INSPEC (/CT) thesaurus are available.
INSPEC corresponds to Physics Abstracts, Electrical & Electronics Abstracts, Computer & Control Abstracts, and Business Automation.
INSPEC also includes an archive that provides access to Science Abstracts journals from 1898-1968. Over 873,700 records contain tables, graphs, and figures from the original source document in many cases, the original value-added indexing and classifications, as well as enhancements in the form of the nearest equivalent current INSPEC thesaurus terms and INSPEC Classification Codes.
