Emerald's Computer Abstracts database is 50 this year

Special anniversary hard copy issue

Emerald Group Publishing’s Computer Abstracts International Database (CAID) is celebrating 50 years of abstracting excellence this year and a special hard-copy anniversary issue is being issued to commemorate the event.  Computer Abstracts is a collection of abstracts from the world’s 200 top journals in the major computer science subjects, including: artificial intelligence; communications and networks; computer theory; database and information systems applications; hardware; human-computer interaction; mathematics of computing; programming; and systems organization.  Computer Abstracts covers periodicals publishing the highest quality material from more than 200 journals from organisations such as IEEE, ACM, Springer and Elsevier. Emerald is the leading international publisher of academic and professional literature in the fields of management and library and information services.

Rachel Brown, Executive Editor at Emerald, says, “Computer Abstracts is a great tool to save academics and students in computer departments time because it covers the very best material in the world from essential texts, as selected by leading figures in the field of computer science. 1,000 new abstracts are added each month immediately after journal publication, ensuring that the information is timely and over 140,000 abstracts in the archives can be searched online 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.”

David Penfold, editor of Computer Abstracts, says, “Computer Abstracts is a leading secondary publication, perhaps the leading secondary publication in the area of IT and computing, covering topics from complex mathematical theory through to the functioning of the brain and engineering applications.”

Using Computer Abstracts means that users do not have to trawl through masses of inappropriate articles or TOC alerts; it keeps users up-to-date with the latest trends and developments in the area; provides instant access to vast archives of information around the clock; and saves subscribers money as they can purchase articles as and when they need them rather than full-text subscriptions. 

The journal has over 140,000 computer article abstracts, covers the world’s foremost 200 computer science journals and has an accreditation board of leading computer science experts.  The subscription includes access to an archive dating back to 1987.
