Transportation

A bibliographic database that indexes and abstracts more than 134,000 articles from published and unpublished Australian material on transport, incorporating Australian Road Research Board Transport Research and Austroads publications from 1976. It provides comprehensive coverage of Australian and New Zealand publications, selective indexing of overseas material including conference papers and also include selected catalogue records from some libraries specialising in transport. Subject coverage includes all aspects of road design and engineering, traffic engineering and control, transport planning, vehicle design and safety, and road safety. Documents indexed include all ARRB Transport Research and Austroads publications. Coverage of other Australian and New Zealand publications is comprehensive, and overseas publications are indexed more selectively.

This searchable database contains information about civil aviation accidents and selected incidents within the United States, its territories and possessions, and in international waters. Generally, a preliminary report is available within a few days of an accident. Factual information is added when available, and when the investigation is completed, the preliminary report is replaced by a final description of the accident and its probable cause. Full narrative descriptions may not be available before 1993. The database can be searched by date, location, type of aircraft, airline, etc.

Web of Science provides access to journal citations, selected abstracts and cited references contained in three separate ISI citation databases: Science citation index expanded (SCI-Expanded); Social sciences citation index (SSCI); and, Arts & humanities citation index (A&HCI). Also added in 2008: Conference Proceedings Citation Index- Science (CPCI-S)--1990-present, and Conference Proceedings Citation Index- Social Science & Humanities (CPCI-SSH)--1990-present. Citation databases are used to follow a line of research from a known older key piece of work (book, journal article, unpublished work, etc) to more recent research by searching the reference lists of recent journal articles. Although not its primary strength, Web of Science could be useful for cross disciplinary searching.
