ProQuest and Elsevier Health expand medical licensing agreement

ProQuest and Elsevier Health are expanding their long-standing relationship for licensing of the Lancet family of medical journals to include 36 additional acclaimed health science titles from Elsevier in ProQuest's information products. The new three-year agreement enables the full text of these journals to be discovered within the context of libraries' entire ProQuest collections.

"ProQuest is dedicated to a superior researcher experience, so we aim to connect our users with unique content that can drive breakthrough thinking and advance knowledge," said Mary Sauer-Games, ProQuest vice-president of Publishing. "That's exactly what Elsevier's Health Science journals deliver. We're eager to expand access and increase use of content that we're certain will inspire the researchers who rely on ProQuest."

ProQuest has included The Lancet, one of the most influential medical journals in the world, in its Health Sciences products since 1995. Now that full-text content will be available with Elsevier's range of key medical journals, covering fields from anesthesiology to veterinary medicine. These additions are expected in the coming months. Read more.

Unearth hidden data in ProQuest Environmental Science Collection

SciTech Deep Indexing of IEEE publications surpasses the million figure and table mark!

ProQuest Deep Indexing pinpoints critical data that lies under the radar in other search engines. Deep Indexing categorizes that data represented in tables, maps, photographs and other figures that are crucial to research, especially in the engineering field. ProQuest uses an average of eight index terms to every object in a journal article to help you find what you are looking for faster. Now researchers in the engineering fields can benefit from the over 1.3 million searchable IEEE figures and tables, with full display available.

IEEE titles are highly cited, and ProQuest deep indexes 150, including these five IEEE Computer Society full-text journals:

• IEEE Internet Computing
• IEEE Software
• IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing
• IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering
• IT Professional Magazine

What's the value in having 1.3 million searchable IEEE figures and tables? These indexed figures and tables are unique content, not available in other engineering sources.
