Physics & Astronomy Resource Guide

Conference proceedings from the American Institute of Physics (AIP) scientific meetings, ranging from large international conferences to small specialist workshops. Subject areas span the entire physical sciences, including physics, math, chemistry, materials science, and engineering.

Open acces to over 559,000 e-prints in physics, mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, and statistics.

Publicly Available The Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is a NASA-funded project whose main resource is an Abstract Service¸ which includes four sets of abstracts: 1) astronomy and astrophysics¸ containing 607¸193 abstracts; 2) instrumentation¸ containing 586¸979 abstracts; 3) physics and geophysics¸ containing 922¸490 abstracts; and 4) Los Alamos preprint server¸ containing 3¸529 abstracts. Each dataset can be searched by author¸ object name (astronomy only)¸ title¸ or abstract text words.

Compendex is a comprehensive interdisciplinary engineering database. It covers the entire spectrum of engineering, in depth, with records for 2,600+ international journals, conference papers and proceedings, and technical reports.

The National Nuclear Data Center (NNDC) is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy to provide information services in the fields of low and medium energy nuclear physics to users in the United States and Canada. In particular¸ the Center can provide information on neutron¸ charged-particle¸ and photonuclear reactions¸ nuclear structure¸ and decay data. Coverage: 1990 - present

The SPIE Digital Library is the most extensive resource available on optics and photonics, providing unprecedented access to more than 200,000 technical papers from SPIE Journals and Conference Proceedings from 1990 to the present. More than 17,000 new technical papers are added annually. All sources are searchable and there are also several browse options for proceedings (by year, symposium, volume number, volume title, technology). Publications included in the SPIE Digital Library include, the Proceedings of SPIE, Optical Engineering, Journal of Electronic Imaging, Journal of Biomedical Optics, and Journal of Microlithography, Microfabrication, and Microsystems.

Multidisciplinary content covers over 10,000 of the highest impact journals worldwide, including Open Access journals and over 110,000 conference proceedings. You'll find current and retrospective coverage in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities.
