Use Dialog Journal Name Finder to Find a Specific Journal?
TOPIC: Dialog Journal Name Finder (File 414) allows quick identification of Dialog files that have the most comprehensive coverage of a specific journal. The REPORT Sn/JOURNAL command in File 414 shows whether the file indexing the journal is bibliographic or fulltext. From the REPORT, you can also go directly into selected files, and a set will be created for the specific journal.
In this search example, you will identify files that carry Pharma Marketletter from Marketletter Publications Ltd., search for recent coverage of a topic using the journal name and determine availability of articles in fulltext.
Additional databases shown in the example include Business & Industry (File 9),
Gale Group PROMT® (File 16) and Gale Group Trade & Industry Database (File 148).
