Engineering Village Literature Search Platform

Engineering Village is the most authoritative literature retrieval platform in the field of engineering and applied science. It provides engineers and scientific researchers with professional and rich engineering science databases and corresponding scientific and technological literature retrieval, as well as full-text online access services for excellent global engineering science journals, and has the famous Engineering Index function.

The multiple databases on the platform cover a wide range of fields related to engineering and applied science, and the content sources include academic literature, commercial publications, invention patents, conference papers and technical reports. Among them, Compendex is the Engineering Index database of the United States, which is the earliest source of engineering abstracts in the world. Compendex is a comprehensive abstract database for scientific and technological engineering research, covering 190 engineering disciplines, and has collected more than 11 million abstract records since 1969. The documents collected cover all engineering fields, about 22% of which are conference documents, and 90% of the documents are in English. In addition, there are more than 10 database resources on the EV platform, such as Inspec, GeoBase, NTIS Database, Referex, Ei Patents, etc.

Engineering Village has many functions and features, such as providing a dynamic environment and search results to help users understand the cutting-edge ideas in the field; the collected information is comprehensive and reliable, which can help users thoroughly understand the content found and apply it to work; the interface is intuitive, easy to learn and use, and you can directly select the appropriate database from the quick search menu for search, and you can also redefine the conditions based on the search results to obtain more accurate results; you can also learn about the latest documents by subscribing to RSS; users can define keyword tag records to find related content again, and can also search for other users tags to obtain new perspectives; it also allows users to create groups and share tag records within the group, company or institution, and the entire Engineering Village.
It has a long history. In 1884, a group of engineers committed to the progress and sharing of scientific research results founded Engineering Information Inc. (Ei). Today, Ei is a world-leading provider of online information services for applied science and engineering and an important member of Elsevier.
