| Description: | GeoRef covers the world’s literature in geology and the geosciences. A comprehensive resource with over 2.2 million citations, many with abstracts, GeoRef covers the geology of North America since 1785 and the geology of the rest of the world since 1933. It includes citations to articles in over 3,000 journals in 40 languages, as well as books, maps, reports, most U.S. Geological Survey publications, and U.S. and Canadian master’s theses and doctoral dissertations. The InProcess database contains records that are not completely indexed but still contain useful information. When a record in the InProcess database is completely indexed, it is added to the GeoRef database during GeoRef’s regular cycle. |
