Medline is the primary source for information
from international literature on clinical medicine and biomedicine,
including the following topics as they relate to biomedicine
and health care:
- Biology
- Environmental science
- Marine biology
- Plant and animal science
- Biophysics
- Chemistry
Biological Abstracts is the world's
most comprehensive reference database for life science research.
The primary focus of BA is pre-clinical research information
in biology & biomedicine including:
- Traditional areas of
biology, such as botany, zoology and microbiology
- Biomedicine, agriculture, pharmacology and ecology
- Interdisciplinary fields such as
medicine, biochemistry, biophysics, bioengineering,
and biotechnology are also
included
Searching both databases will give more comprehensive
results. Medline and Biological Abstracts (BA) may index some
of the same journals, but if you are looking for basic science-oriented
biomedical information you will find different articles in BA
that are not necessarily included in Medline.
