About

Databases

Engineering Village
Engineering Village (EV) is the essential research database for engineering literature from journals, conferences proceedings, patents, e-books, and many more. In a single interface, you could simultaneously search across four databases, namely Compendex, Inspec, NTIS and GeoBase. The thesauri on Engineering Village contains the controlled vocabulary used to index articles in the Compendex, Inspec and GEOBASE databases. This enables consistent and precise search and retrieval.
Scopus
Covers scientific, engineering, technical, medical, social sciences, arts and humanities fields. Contains millions of peer-reviewed journals; selected articles from trade journals; book chapters; edited volumes, reference works, conference papers and patents. Updated daily. Scopus does citation tracking - a researcher can find out how many times a particular article has been cited.
Web of Science
One of the largest multidisciplinary index covering literature from sciences, social sciences, and arts and humanities. It indexes scholarly journals, books, conference proceedings, and patents. It offers the option to find the Hot and Highly Cited papers, the most impactful papers within a subject field.

Biosis Previews
BIOSIS Previews (1985-) indexes life sciences and biomedical research covering pre-clinical and experimental research, methods and instrumentation, animal studies, and more. Items indexed are journals, meetings, patents, and books.
PubMed
PubMed is a free resource that provides access to over 28 million citations of biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, online books, newspaper articles, legal cases, clinical trial and others. Its citations and abstracts also include topics in biomedicine and health, life sciences, behavioural sciences, chemical sciences and bioengineering. The results display might include links to related resources and/or to full-text content from PubMed Central and other publishers. Staff and students are encouraged to access via NUS Libraries portal for seamless access to full articles subscribed by the Libraries.
SciFinder
Produced by Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS). Indexes journal articles, patents and other document types, as well as chemical substances and reactions. You can search by topic, author, substances by name or CAS Registry Number, or use the editor to draw chemical structures, substructures, or reactions.

Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
Access to approximately 120,000 Material Safety Data Sheets from 600 North American manufacturers and suppliers. Each sheet represents a chemical. It provides a detailed evaluations of health, fire and reactivity hazards, as well as recommendations on handling and storage, disposal procedures, accidental release, and first aid.

Construction InfoNet
Produced by BCA (Building and Construction Authority), Construction InfoNet contains up-to-date statistics, reports and quarterly reviews on various aspects of Singapore’s construction industry. The statistics include construction GDP and productivity, construction price update, materials price indices, tender price index, unit rates of various construction works and value of contracts awarded. There is also a construction project database which contains details of construction projects awarded since 2013. Please note: Registration is necessary for first time user.
ICONDA
The International CONstruction DAtabase is the bibliographic database of the International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction (CIB). It contains citations to journal articles, books, research reports, conference proceedings, business reports, theses and other non-conventional literature that are outside of public domain. The coverage dates back to 1976 when the database was first launched. The subject coverage includes building construction, civil and construction engineering, architecture and town planning. To check for availability of full-text in NUS Libraries’ collection, copy and paste the article title into FindMore.
