In 1992, we abstracted about 4,000 records from Chinese journals. By the year 2000 that number had tripled to about 12,000 articles annually.
We feel that Chinese engineering and technology is important and will continue to cover new journals that are appropriate to our coverage areas.
How do we make decisions about what journals we cover in Compendex?
Subject matter is the primary criterion for selection of a journal.
A Second criterion is the quality of the journal.
Subject Matter
Subject Matter is the primary criterion for selection. Our emphasis is on the major engineering disciplines:
chemical,
civil,
electrical/electronic,
mechanical,
metallurgical, mining and petroleum engineering.
computer engineering and software
We consider these “core” areas for Compendex and will index every signed (authored article) from these journals.
