The Inspec (INSPEC) database has been reloaded to implement the new Thesaurus Tool and CC tools.
In addition, Ovid has made the following changes to the database:
4 New Fields |
||||
| Label | Field Name | What's New | ||
| GC | Cooperative Patent Classification | The Cooperative Patent Classification (GC) field contains codes and labels which form part of an internationally compatible classification system for technical documents, in particular patent publications. The CPC is an extension of the IPC and further classifies the document into a specialised category. |
||
| GW | Cooperative Patent Classification Word | The Cooperative Patent Classification Word (GW) index is use to retrieve every instance of a word within the Cooperative Patent Classification. |
||
| LK | Document Link | The Document link (LK) field may contain a DOI or URL which takes the user to another document, other than that which is the focus of the current record. The linked document may be, for example, the published version of a Preprint article. | ||
| PI | Patent Information | The Patent Information (PI) index is used in documents dating prior to 1977 only. The Patent Information field contains information unique to patents such as the Patent Number, Patent Authority, Original Patent Number, Country of Patent, Country of Original Patent Application, Patent Assignee, Date Filed or Submitted and Patent Priority Date. | ||
