  • A Comparative Analysis of Ecology Literature Databases
    A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ECOLOGY LITERATURE DATABASES Barry N. Brown, Mansfield Library, The University of Montana, Missoula, MT 59812 [email protected], April 2007 ABSTRACT: There is a bewildering array of databases currently available for literature searches. Major, traditional indexes to the primary literature of ecology include: Biological Abstracts, Biological and Agricultural Index, CAB Direct, CSA Biological Sciences, Web of Science, Wildlife and Ecology Studies Worldwide, and Zoological Record. New indexes and search engines have recently appeared; notably Google Scholar, Scirus, and Scopus. Multidisciplinary, full text, undergraduate-oriented, databases such as Academic Search Premier from EBSCO, and/or Academic Index ASAP from Gale are widely available and frequently used at academic libraries. All of these electronic databases were compared and ranked using quantitative criteria and search results. Database content was benchmarked against randomly selected bibliographies from articles in well known ecology literature review journals. A list of the top 20, most important, journals for ecology was compiled based on a citation analysis of the bibliographies; this analysis revealed that 84% of the literature cited is journal articles and 11% was books or book chapters. Criteria for evaluating databases included: coverage of the most important ecology journals, freshness of indexing, completeness of indexing, inclusion of citations from the bibliographies examined, and size as indicated by keyword searching of title fields. Somewhat surprisingly, based on these analyses, the best databases overall for finding the primary literature of ecology are: Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, Academic Search Premier, and Scirus. An additional analysis of ecology books and book chapters showed OCLC’s WorldCat to clearly have the most content.
