EMBASE is a biomedical and pharmacological bibliographic database, which provides access to the most up-to-date citations and abstracts from biomedical and drug literature. It contains over 29 million indexed records from more than 8,500+ peer reviewed international journals, covering 1947 to date, with more than 1.4 million additions annually.

Why EMBASE?

• Broad biomedical scope, with in-depth coverage of pharmacology, pharmaceutical science, and clinical research.
• EMTREE is a thesaurus similar to MeSH; but is more extensive. Emtree includes over 70,000 preferred terms half of which are drug and chemical terms.  Additionally, it includes over 3,000 medical devices, drug and medical device trade names, additives, manufacturer names, CAS registry numbers, molecular sequence numbers, and biotechnology.
