BIOSIS Indexing Makes Searching Easier and More Efficient

Find life sciences information more quickly using BIOSIS.

• BIOSIS Indexing keeps the information in each citation clearly organized. When BIOSIS indexes a publication, it preserves the keywords from the original document in context by placing them into the appropriate field - such as title, author, organism, source, and so on - instead of simply lumping them into a single group of text.

• Highly structured BIOSIS data can adapt to flexible search strategies. Design searches for maximum relevancy (searches returning only the most pertinent records) or maximum returns (searches returning as many records as possible); either way, BIOSIS can accommodate your information needs. When you search for relevancy on BIOSIS databases, you don't waste time skimming past irrelevant records. You'll receive the records that are most closely related to your original search terms because of the structure of our indexing and its accuracy.
  
  
• BIOSIS citations reflect content accurately and consistently. Professional, degreed biologists - who understand the content - index the records in BIOSIS databases. Plus, our controlled vocabulary - an authoritative list that standardizes the descriptive terms used in our indexing - ensures that the proper indexing terms are recalled each time a key word is used. This maintains consistency in the file, preventing different indexers from associating different key terms with the same concept.
