About indexing and abstracts of journals
Nature and Nature Portfolio journals are indexed by the following indexing and abstracting services:
BIOSIS: The BIOSIS Research Database provides researchers with the latest resources in the life sciences, including journals, conferences, patents, books, reviews, and more. Researchers can also access multidisciplinary coverage through specialized indexing such as MeSH disease terms, CAS registry numbers, serial database numbers, and key concepts.
Biological Abstracts: A comprehensive indexing service integrated with the ISI Web of Knowledge platform so researchers can search all other ISI Web of Knowledge resources at the same time.
The British Library: The national library of the United Kingdom holds 150 million manuscripts, maps, newspapers, magazines, prints, drawings, music scores, and patents. Electronic catalogs, information, and exhibitions can be found on its website. The library runs the world’s largest document delivery service, providing millions of items annually to national and international customers.
CAB Abstracts: A comprehensive database providing researchers with instant access to over 5 million records covering applied life sciences.
CABS (Current Awareness in Biological Science): A bibliographic database for biological research. More than 1,700 journals are scanned by scientific editors to add around 15,000 entries to the database each month.
Chemical Abstracts Service: Pathways for published research in journals and literature of chemistry worldwide, covering everything related to chemistry and life sciences, as well as a wide range of other scientific disciplines, since the early 20th century.
Crossref: The official agency for registering digital object identifiers (DOIs) for scholarly and professional publications. Crossref operates a citation linking system among different publishers, allowing researchers to click on a reference citation on one publisher’s platform and go directly to the cited content on another publisher’s platform, according to the access practices of the target publisher. This network of linked citations covers millions of articles and other content from several hundred scientific and professional publishers.
Current Contents: A current awareness database providing easy access to complete tables of contents, bibliographic information, and abstracts from the latest published issue of leading scholarly journals.
EBSCO Publishing: An integrated information service that combines reference databases, subscription management, e-journals, books, and linking services. Widely used by libraries, schools, government institutions, medical institutions, corporations, and others.
Elsevier BIOBASE: A database providing comprehensive coverage of biological research worldwide from over 19,000 source journals.
EMBASE: Comprehensive and immediate access to the pharmaceutical medical literature. Over 18 million records from more than 7,000 journals, updated within 10 days of publication.
Global Health: A bibliographic database specialized for academics and researchers in public and international health. It contains more than a million records from over 3,500 series, books, conferences, and grey literature.
Google Scholar: Provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. It includes peer-reviewed articles, theses, books, abstracts, and articles from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, and universities and other academic institutions. Google Scholar ranks articles based on the full text of the article, the author, the journal in which the article appears, and how often the article has been cited in other scholarly literature, thereby returning the most relevant results on the first page.

PubMed Central: PubMed Central (PMC) is a digital archive of life sciences journal literature that includes over half a million articles. Authors of research articles in life sciences published in Nature Portfolio journals are encouraged to upload the accepted version of their article (accepted), six months after the online publication date, to PMC. For tips and guidelines, see the PMC submission pages.
Science Citation Index: The Science Citation Index provides researchers, administrators, faculty members, and students with quick and powerful access to the bibliographic information and citations they need from over 3,700 leading scientific and technical journals worldwide across 100 disciplines.
