Inclusion Policy
Since 2002 EMBASE has had a cover-to-cover policy: all articles (apart from book reviews and obituaries) are covered.
Before 2002 this policy applied to most titles (>90%), but some were covered selectively for drugs information only.
Geographical Coverage
- US / Canada: 31%
- Europe: 54%
- Australasia: 10%
- Rest of World: 5%
Gap Fill Policy
Gaps due to missing issues are actively filled: missing issues are claimed from journals publishers and added to the database as soon as they are received.
Not filled are:
- gaps due to journals not being covered from vol 1 iss 1.
- gaps that occur for a few journals which were not covered during a certain period of their existence.
Archive Policy
We do not aim to cover all journals back to vol 1 iss 1.
For many journals, coverage was begun when they had already been in existence for some years. In such cases the back years are not indexed.
