Bibliographic and citation databases

Bibliographic and citation databases

Bibliographic databases contain basic data on published scientific publications and enable insight into a specific scientific area. Basic data on scientific material include data such as: publication title, author’s name, year, place of publication, etc. Citation databases are databases that, in addition to bibliographic data, contain data on used citations, citations of published scientific publications, citations of researchers and their publications within a certain scientific field. These databases do not contain full texts of publications. Full-text databases provide insight into the full text of a single publication, and usually represent collections of electronic journals and books of larger or smaller volume from one or more publishers. Full texts are usually accompanied by a bibliographic description of each paper.
