Embase Alert on Dialog adds Articles in Press (AIP) records
Articles in Press records started loading in Embase® Alert (File172) on Dialog in late September. AIP records represent the earliest version of a record as it goes through the Elsevier editorial process. In most cases an Article in Press will not have volume, issue, or pagination information, and may also be missing a publication date. It will have a Title, Authors and an Abstract. This valuable literature is now being made available earlier than previously.
As the Article in Press goes through the editorial process, it is replaced by a standard Embase Alert record when the full bibliographic citation information is known. The transition to a standard Embase Alert record may take a couple of days or several weeks.
AIPs, easily identifiable because they contain the Document type Article in Press, are searchable as DT=ARTICLE IN PRESS.
Articles in Press are loaded from the present forward.
Accession numbers for all records in Embase Alert, currently 10-digit values, are changed to eight-digits as AIP records are loaded. During the transition period, there will be a mixture of 10- and eight-digit accession numbers; after eight weeks all accession numbers will be eight digits in length.
EMTREE descriptors are introduced in newly added Embase Alert records, including newly loaded AIP records. Descriptors can be searched and displayed using the Dialog DE tag.
File172 has also been enhanced with the 2012 Embase thesaurus.
Note: Articles in Press (AIP) records started to appear in Embase Alert on ProQuest Dialog in August.
