 IBZ Online database now features 1,323 OA journals - 29 Jun 2012

Academic publisher De Gruyter, Germany, has announced that IBZ Online, an international index of journal literature in the humanities and social sciences, now lists 1,323 open access journals that have never before been systematically indexed. IBZ Online will now add an additional 5,000 journal issues to its database each year, including 16,000 articles and 21,000 abstracts. The database is updated on an ongoing basis, and now contains over 3.3 million articles from about 11,500 journals.

IBZ Online helps to make the latest findings in the humanities and social sciences accessible to academia. Content is indexed with a keyword system that uses an interdisciplinary approach and features intentional overlap in the natural sciences. The database registers publications in over 40 languages.

For over 100 years, the IBZ index has been the international reference database for journal articles in the humanities, social sciences, and neighbouring fields. The IBZ serves the purpose of documenting and indexing the most recent scientific articles. The bibliography focuses on German and international periodicals of the humanities and social sciences but the interdisciplinary character – with deliberate intersections into the natural sciences – need to be emphasised. Publications from 40 countries in more than 40 languages are taken into consideration.
