Over 100,000 candidate terms are proposed each year, and the separate Candidate Terms (DJ) field therefore allows for identification of candidate terms.

Conference Abstract: Abstracts of presentations provided during important biomedical, drug and medical device conferences dating back to 2009. Conference abstracts are published primarily in journal supplements from
journals that are selected for Embase. The source title usually includes words like proceeding(s), meeting(s), conference(s), symposium/symposia, seminar(s) or workshop(s), although some journals also include
proceeding(s) in the title.
Article in Press: Articles that have been accepted for publication but which have not been formally published and will not always have the complete volume/issue/page information yet. “Articles-in-Press” (AiP) are made
available in Embase within a few days after online publication, may lack full bibliographic detail, and an automated procedure is used to provide a provisional index of Emtree Subject headings for Article-in-press records.
The average time it takes before an AiP becomes a published article in a specific issue, can vary from weeks to months.
In-Process: In-Process records overwrite the AiP records, but they have not yet been fully manually indexed. Most documents proceed from an In-process state to a full Embase document, but if an article in press is never
formally published, it will remain in this status.
Embase: Embase status refers to fully indexed Embase records with Emtree subject headings and may have subheadings where applicable for drug, diseases and medical devices. They are indexed by subject matter
experts, and approximately 40,000 records with status Embase are added to Embase each week.

Records will either have an Embase Status (ST), or a NLM Status (NS). Please note that records recently added to the database can have Article-in-Press (ST) status as well as Publisher (NS) status at the same time. As Embase
records progress their indexing for Embase they will only have 1 status type (ST or NS).
