The Abstracts (AB) are always in English and use British spelling throughout. They are designed to be objective and indicative of the content of the complete paper. All important concepts are included along with any results. Authors abstracts will often be used but will be amended, when necessary, in order to ensure that all the important points are covered. Some records will not include abstracts. There are two reasons for this. Some original articles, although significant, are short and require nothing more than a title to describe them while other items may be on the border line in terms of CABI's overall subject scope. While considered significant they may not warrant the extra effort required to prepare an abstract.

Searching the abstract field is ideal if you wish to retrieve absolutely every paper on a particular topic. This is particularly useful when searching for very new concepts where few records are anticipated. For the more common concepts, restricting the search to Titles (TI), Descriptors (DE) and CABICODES (CC) is recommended.

Here are a couple of search hints:

• Specific cultivars of crops are not generally allocated a Descriptor (DE), so searching the abstract for these in combination with the appropriate descriptor term is recommended. Example: To find important papers about the C57 cultivar of soybeans you should consider searching for soybeans in the Subject Heading field and combining it (AND) with C57 searched in the abstract.
• Concepts such as high temperature or specific techniques used in research, etc. are best searched in the abstract.
• For maximum retrieval search the abstract bearing in mind it will, by definition, produce more false drops (low relevance).

The Accession Number (AN) field contains the identifier assigned by CAB International to uniquely identify a particular record.

The Additional Title Data (AT) field contains data that is not appropriate for any of the other title fields, for example series statements for books and the titles of special issues of a journal and details of alternative series in which the record or item is also published.

This field is word indexed in Title (TI) and, when available, displays in Title (TI) field.

The Author (AU) field is used for the input of the names of all the individual authors of the item being cited. In this field the names are entered in the preferred format set by the editorial rules. However, the user of the database cannot be expected to know or remember all these rules, so the Author Variants field is used for awkward names where the availability of variations would be useful for searching. The Author Variants field is indexed with the Authors field for searching purposes but only the Author field displays.

Editor names follow the same editorial rules as authors names and are combined with the author names in the Added Entry Person (AE) alias. To search for a person who has authored and/or edited items in the database search that persons name with an .ae. search qualification.

The basic format for the input of author and editor names is: surname first initial second initial.

Titles of honour such as Sir are transposed but academic titles like Dr and Professor are omitted. Relationship terms like Sr., Jr., II, III, IV, etc. are entered after the initials except for Portuguese names (Neto, Junior, Filho, Sobrinho, etc.) where they are cited in full immediately after the surname.

All separate particles such as de, Di, Le, von, van, etc. are transposed to follow the forename initials but because Author Variants are indexed, particles can be placed either before the last name or after the last initial when searching. Arabic names are standardized by inserting hyphens after the particles Al- and El-, so that they become part of the surname. Here are some examples:

It is also worth noting that names are phrase indexed so it is advisable to use truncation or the index expand/look-up feature. Searching simply for a surname without allowing for all the initials will usually result in no records being retrieved.

The Broad Terms (BT) field is phrase indexed.

Up-posted descriptors are the broader thesaurus terms for specific groups of descriptors which have been assigned to a record at its particular level of specificity. The selection of these terms is driven by hierarchical relationships present in the CAB Thesaurus.

They are applied ONLY to the descriptors that appear in the Organism Descriptors (OD) field and the Geographic Location (GL) field. The up-posted descriptors help in finding items which deal with any instance of a broader concept.

Corporate authors (CA), such as the World Health Organization, are entered in a field of their own. They are made searchable separately from personal authors/editors. It is impossible to impose any strict editorial control over the data entered into this field so, when searching, it is important to take into account any abbreviations and acronyms that may be used as well as any known name changes that may have occurred within the time limits of the particular search in question. In an attempt to alleviate the problem of inconsistency there is also a Corporate Author Variants field into which variations may be put. These two fields are merged for searching purposes.

CABICODES are classification codes applied to all records to indicate the broad subject areas within which they fall. Altogether there are about 270 CABICODES, of which any one will typically retrieve thousands of records. They consist of two letters followed by three numbers. They are particularly useful for isolating a subset of the database within which a more specific search may be performed. They are ideally suited for the retrieval of records in areas that are difficult to define using keywords. For example, a search on VV300 will retrieve all papers on public health and nuisance pests from the point of view of human health and hygiene. CABICODES complement keyword indexing. This means to say that a concept which is allocated a CABICODES will also be indexed with all the appropriate keywords from the thesaurus.

Every record will have at least one CABICODE representing the main subject of the paper. In addition, relevant codes will be added for other important concepts that are explicitly discussed in the paper. Subjects reported by implication only will not be coded. For example, a paper on nitrogen nutrition of mulberry would be coded FF061 (PLANT NUTRITION) but not LL020 (SERICULTURE) unless the effect of the nitrogen nutrition on silkworms was actually discussed.

The codes are arranged in 20 distinct groups. Each group has a general code with its corresponding classification name. This is then followed by more specific codes and names. As with the keyword indexing the codes are allocated at the most appropriate level of specificity. CABICODES can be searched in full or with truncation.

This field is also browsable by way of a CABICODES classification code Tool, and can be searched by word in the CABICODES Words (CW) index.

Codes are cascaded, or exploded in the Exploded CABICODES (XC) index. Searching on VV000 in the CC field will only retrieve general papers on Human Health and Hygiene. It will not pick up all papers with a VV code. To do this you could search on VV truncated (e.g. VV$.cc.), or, more simply and quickly search the exploded form (e.g. VV000.xc.).

The Country of Publication (CP) field contains the full name of the country in which a journal was published (such as USA ).

CABICODES are classification codes applied to all records to indicate the broad subject areas within which they fall. Altogether there are about 270 CABICODES, of which any one will typically retrieve thousands of records. They consist of two letters followed by three numbers. They are particularly useful for isolating a subset of the database within which a more specific search may be performed.

As with the keyword indexing the codes are allocated at the most appropriate level of specificity. CABICODES can be searched in full or with truncation.

This field is browsable by way of a CABICODE Classification Code Tool, and can also be searched in the CABICODES (CC) and Exploded CABICODES (XC) fields.

Codes are cascaded, or exploded in the Exploded CABICODES (XC) index. Searching for VV000.cc. field will only retrieve general papers on Human Health Hygiene. It will not pick up all papers with a VV code. To do this you could search on VV truncated (for example, VV$.cc.), or, more simply and quickly search the exploded form (for example, VV000.xc.).

The Descriptor Index contains the Geographic Locations (GL), the Organism Descriptors (OD) and Subject Headings (SH), and displays in any one of those fields.

The Date of Publication (DP) field contains the date of publication. This field is searchable and displays as a part of the Source (SO) field as well as displaying in a separate Year of Publication (YR) field.

This is the title of the complete document in which the abstracted item was published. If the item is an individual paper from a conference preceding then the Document Title (DT) will be the title of the proceedings.

This field displays in Source (SO).

The Editor (ED) field is phrase indexed.

The names are entered in the preferred format set by the editorial rules. However, the user of the database cannot be expected to know or remember all these complex rules, so an Editor Variant field is used for awkward names where the availability of variations would be useful for searching. Both these fields are combined for searching so, as long as one of the options provided is selected, the record will be retrieved.

Editor names follow the same editorial rules as authors names and are combined with the author names in the Added Entry Person (AE) alias. To search for a person who has authored and/or edited items in the database search that person's name with an.ae. search qualification.

The basic format for the input of author and editor names is: surname first initial second initial.

Titles of honour such as Sir are transposed but academic titles like Dr and Professor are omitted. Relationship terms like Sr., Jr., II, III, IV, etc. are entered after the initials except for Portuguese names (Neto, Junior, Filho, Sobrinho, etc.) where they are cited in full immediately after the surname.

All separate particles such as de, Di, Le, von, van, etc. are transposed to follow the forename initials. Arabic names are standardized by inserting hyphens after the particles Al- and El-, so that they become part of the surname. Here are some examples:

When searching for author or editor names you should familiarize yourself with the way they are indexed on the system you are using. It is also worth noting that names are phrase parsed so it is advisable to use truncation or the index expand/look-up feature. Searching simply for a surname without allowing for all the initials will usually result in very few or no records being retrieved.

The ISSN Electronic (ES) field contains the International Standard Serial Number for the journal in which an article was published.

The ISSN Electronic is the International Standard Serial Number and is a unique number identifying serial publications such as journals. The ISSN Electronic consists of two groups of four digits in Arabic numerals, except possibly for the last, check digit, which may be an X. This conformity makes it easy to search for ISSNs, which can be entered with or without the hyphen between the two groups of four characters.

It appears as an 8 digit number, separated by a hyphen: 0028-4793.

The Every Title (ET) alias searches the (English) Title (TI) and the Original Title (OT) fields.

Titles of original items fall into one of two categories: English and non-English. The non-English titles are further divided into Roman and non-Roman script. CAB ABSTRACTS is an English language database and, for this reason, all records in it are given an English title regardless of the language in which the original document was written. Where possible a non-English title is also provided to aid retrieval. There are two separate fields provided for data input; the (English) Title (TI) field and the Original Title (OT) field.

Geographic Location descriptors describe the countries and subdivisions, such as states or provinces, that are relevant to the record. The field contains only controlled terms from the latest version of the CAB Thesaurus and these are manually allocated to the record at the stage of record creation. The object of applying vocabulary control is to label each important concept in the source item with one, unambiguous name, preferably the name a searcher would choose for the same concept. The thesaurus lists all the allowed descriptors and provides guidance as to the scope of each. Precision and recall are both enhanced if the thesaurus is consulted by searchers as well as indexers.

To search Geographic Location by word, use the Heading Words (HW) index.

All the terms in the Geographic Location field are automatically upposted so that all their higher thesaurus terms are added to the separately searchable Broad Term (BT) field.

Note: Geographic Location (GL) and Broad Term (BT) have their own indexes but both are indexed in Descriptor Index (DE), allowing for simultaneous searching.

Sometimes you may wish to retrieve every Subject Heading (SH), Organism Descriptors (OD), Broad Term (BT), Geographic Location (GL) and Identifiers (ID) that includes a particular word or words; this is done by searching the desired word(s) in the Heading Words (HW) field.

This field contains the International Standard Book Number (ISBN). These are unique identification numbers which are allocated, by publishers, to books and other non-serial publications. An ISBN consists of ten digits divided into four groups:

• Group identifier (national, geographic, language, or other type of group)
• Publisher or producer identifier
• Title identifier
• Check digit which may be either a number or the letter X.

However, despite this standard format, ISBNs vary enormously on the source documents, e.g.:

	971-539-001-3		1-880653-23-0
	92-0-105595-1		1-880653-23-0
	0-913235-91-1		0-08-042903-3

Consequently, they have also been put into the index without spaces or dashes, e.g.:

	9715390013		1880653230
	9201055951		1880653230
	0913235911		0080429033

The field contains free language words or phrases assigned by indexers to give fuller notation of the document content than that provided by the controlled index terms. Often, the Identifiers field contains new terms, for example the names of new species, which are not yet in the CAB Thesaurus.

Identifiers are word indexed in Heading Words (HW).

The Institution (IN) or Author Affiliation field is used for the addresses of both personal and corporate authors. Details entered in this field include institution name, town and country when available. Where possible the full address is now entered and will include post and zip codes. The field itself is intended to give the address of where the work was done. For personal authors the address is that of the first author. If a correspondence address is given with a paper it is only cited if no author address is present and when used the phrase "correspondence address" is appended in the record display.

As with the corporate author field, it is not possible to apply rigid editorial rules to this field so, when searching, it is important to take into account all possible variations and combinations, including name changes and abbreviations. Some examples are:

The Issue/Part (IP) field contains the issue/part, bulletin, edition number for a particular bibliographic item. The IP field usually displays as part of the Source (SO) field.

The ISSN Print (IS) field contains the International Standard Serial Number for the journal in which an article was published.

The ISSN Print is the International Standard Serial Number and is a unique number identifying serial publications such as journals. The ISSN Print consists of two groups of four digits in Arabic numerals, except possibly for the last, check digit, which may be an X. This conformity makes it easy to search for ISSNs, which can be entered with or without the hyphen between the two groups of four characters.

It appears as an 8 digit number, separated by a hyphen: 0028-4793.

The Journal Name (JN) field contains the full name of the journal in which an article was published. This field displays as part of the Source (SO) field.

Journal names are indexed as phrases, so enter enough letters of the journal name to locate the name in the index: new engl$ (for New England Journal of Medicine).

To search by word, use the Journal Name Word (JW) Index.

The Journal Name Word (JX) index is a word index of the names of the journals indexed in CAB Abstracts. Enter the single most descriptive word in a journal title.

A single heavily posted word, such as "journal" will search slowly.

The Language (LG) field contains the original language(s) of the entire document. The language French will appear as "French" but is also indexed with the Ovid three digit language Code.

The Local Messages (LM) field contains messages created by the System Administrator to indicate information about journals held in your local library system.

The Location of Publisher (LP) is the town of publication of a record/item with optional province/state.

The Location of Publisher (LP) field is word indexed.

The E-Mail Address (MA) field contains the e-mail addresses of the persons responsible for the work represented by the record.

It will contain any or all of the following data if available: the title of the conference, its location and dates. There is no strict editorial control regarding the way the data is entered so all possible variations should be accounted for when searching. Enter the single most descriptive word in a conference name, location or date. Consider both full spellings and abbreviations.

The majority of the names are taxonomic; common names are used for livestock and common crops, and some well known wild organisms. The field contains only controlled terms from the latest version of the CAB Thesaurus and these are manually allocated to the record at the stage of record creation. The object of applying vocabulary control is to label each important concept in the source item with one, unambiguous name, preferably the name a searcher would choose for the same concept. The thesaurus lists all the allowed descriptors and provides guidance as to the scope of each. Precision and recall are both enhanced if the thesaurus is consulted by searchers as well as indexers.

To search Organism Descriptors by word, use the Heading Words (HW) index.

All the terms in the Organism Descriptors field are automatically upposted so that all their higher thesaurus terms are added to the separately searchable Broad Term (BT) field.

Titles of original items fall into one of two categories: English and non-English. The non-English titles are further divided into Roman and non-Roman script. CAB ABSTRACTS is an English language database and, for this reason, all records in it are given an English title regardless of the language in which the original document was written. Where possible a non-English title is also provided to aid retrieval. There are two separate fields provided for data input; the Every Title (ET) field and the Original Title (OT) field. Both these are made searchable.

For non-English items with non-English titles the OT field contains the original language title provided that it is in Roman script (e.g. French, German, Italian, etc.).It is not possible to provide original language titles for item titles in non-Roman script (e.g. Greek and Cyrillic) and the current editorial policy states that no transliterated versions will be provided. However, users will find a few transliterated titles in older records on the database.

The Page Count (PC) contains the page length, or total number of pages for a journal article. This is a separate and distinct field from the Pagination field. Page Count is a simple string, optional, non-repeating field. If present, it appears only in Journal Records.

This Field may contain up to 7 alphanumeric characters.

The Pagination (PG) index contains the first page of each item's citation.

All records in the database are designated at least one of the following publication type categories:

The field is mandatory and is validated against an authority file. The field has also been added to the back file records and entries created automatically. However, as with any automatic system, there were inevitably some records which could not be recognized so these are all grouped in with the "Miscellaneous" records.

 The Publisher (PU) field contains the name of the publisher, location of publisher and country of publication. The information is not standardized. Consider both full spellings and abbreviations.

The Subject Headings (SH) field is phrase indexed and controlled by the CAB Thesaurus.

The SH field contains only controlled terms from the latest version of the CAB Thesaurus which describe the key points of the paper and these are manually allocated to the record at the stage of record creation. The object of applying vocabulary control is to label each important concept in the source item with one, unambiguous name, preferably the name a searcher would choose for the same concept. The thesaurus lists all the allowed descriptors and provides guidance as to the scope of each. Precision and recall are both enhanced if the thesaurus is consulted by searchers as well as indexers.

The Subject Heading (SH) field contains any Thesaurus term that is not considered to be an Organism Descriptors (OD) or a Geographic Location (GL) descriptor. Examples would be terms like Pesticides, Nutrition, Leisure Management, etc. Refer to the note on Organism Descriptors and Geographic Location descriptors for details of what these two separate index fields contain.

To search Subject Headings by word, use the Heading Words (HW) index.

The Source (SO) field includes a display of all the basic information needed to locate a citation, including the Journal Name (JN) or Document Title (DT), Date of Publication (DP), Volume (VO), Issue/Part (IP), Pagination (PG), References (RF), and Secondary Journal Source (SJ).

The Electronic Subset Code (SS) field contains 2-character codes, assigned by CABI, which indicate subsets to which a record belongs.

The Electronic Subset Code (SS) is included in CAB Abstracts to aid in linking. Although it can be searched, a list of code translations is not available.

Titles of original items fall into one of two categories: English and non-English. The non-English titles are further divided into Roman and non-Roman script. CAB ABSTRACTS is an English language database and, for this reason, all records in it are given an English title regardless of the language in which the original document was written. Where possible a non-English title is also provided to aid retrieval. There are two separate fields provided for data input; the Every Title (ET) field and the Original Title (OT) field. Both these are made searchable.

If the original document is in English with an English title then this title is input exactly as given. Subtitles are included and any abbreviations or American spellings are not altered. The only changes that are allowed are corrections of obvious spelling errors which are important for retrieval purposes. In a small percentage of cases some titles may be annotated to improve sense or clarity.

If the original document is not in English but carried an English language version of the title this will be used, as far as possible, exactly as given. It will be edited only as necessary to clarify either sense or grammar or to correct any obvious spelling errors.

If no English version is available, or if the English version provided diverges a lot from the non-English version, the latter is translated, by CABI, into English.

The URL (UR) field contains the Internet Uniform Resource Locator of electronic documents and document collections that have URLs believed to be stable.

Each part of the URL and file name is indexed, so enter the most descriptive word or words in a URL or filename.

This field contains volume numbers for serial publications.

The Exploded CABICODES Codes (XC) field contains the classification codes exploded to post in the Classification Code Tool. Searching the top level code in the VV hierarchy (VV000.xc.) will post all the records containing a VV code.

The Year of Publication (YR) field contains the year in which a document was published. The year may be searched using four digits, e.g. "1994".

Only individual years may be searched here; do not enter a range of years. (Use the Limit to Publication Year to restrict sets to a range of years.)

Abstract:
  	The technology of Effective Microorganisms was introduced into Thailand in 1980. Since its inception, the programme has gained 
 	momentum rapidly, through the offices of the Sekai Kyusei Kyo of Thailand. At present, EM is successfully used in orchard 
  	management, vegetable and livestock farming and in fish and prawn culture. It is also utilized in zoological gardens, garbage 
  	treatment and environmental protection. At present there are over 17 000 trained personnel who use EM. The people range from 
  	farmers, teachers to administrators. Thus, the Department of Agricultural Extension of the Ministry of Agriculture and 
  	Cooperatives, Royal Government of Thailand, together with key farmers trained in EM technology have established the Nature 
  	Farming of Thailand Forum. Its objectives are to promote the production and provide markets for EM based products, that are 
  	free of chemical pollutants. The technology of EM is widely used in Thailand, and the progress made is presented.
