Fwd: Press release IET announces the release of arXiv content in Inspec
by Subbiah Arunachalam 15 Sep '16

15 Sep '16

From IET (publisher of Inspec) www.theiet.org *IET announces the release of arXiv content in Inspec* The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) has announced that over 30,000 pre-print articles available in the online repository arXiv will be indexed in Inspec, the leading abstract and indexing database for physics and engineering. The addition of these articles, which will take place by the end of this year, will substantially increase the content held in Inspec, which currently holds over 16 million records, and deliver even greater access to cutting-edge research. Inspec is the first engineering and physics database to index arXiv records, which include open-access e-prints in a variety of disciplines such as Applied Optics, Physics, Astronomy, Circuits and Computer Science. By including arXiv content in Inspec, researchers will now benefit from Inspec's highly-curated, world-leading thesaurus, allowing users to query the records in a way they have not been able to before. Tim Hamer, Director of Knowledge at the IET said: "The inclusion of arXiv records is a significant addition to Inspec's already comprehensive database. This forms part of ongoing developments to the Inspec platform, which will make it easier for researchers to pinpoint the exact content they need. "Our expert team of indexers will bring hundreds of person-years of knowledge invested in the IET's thesaurus to arXiv's pre-print content while the increased coverage and search functionality will enhance discoverability of arXiv's open access articles. Combined with Inspec's existing content, which dates back to 1898, the arXiv content will help researchers develop an even greater understanding of the context of latest developments in their field." This news follows the IET's announcement last month of further developments to the Inspec database that will use semantic enrichment to provide increased connections between articles. Tim Aitken, Product Manager for Inspec added: "With engineering research growing at an exponential rate, it is more important than ever that researchers have access to the most up-to-date developments and are able to find the content most relevant to them. The inclusion of arXiv records is the first step in providing users with a more seamless journey through their research, allowing researchers to find everything they need in one place and explore new content through relationships like inter-related and overlapping scientific concepts, institutions, authors, locations and time periods." Inspec is the world's most trusted source of physical sciences and engineering research information, used globally by the most innovative organisations that take seriously the need to give their researchers and students the best tools for their work. Inspec gives students and researchers' essential intelligence and unrivalled metadata connections to find the information needed to improve research productivity.
