To see all indexed journals in Embase, click 'Journals' in the top bar on any page. The journals are sorted alphabetically. For more information on the journal (e.g. the publisher, the number of issues per year), click 'About'. You can also visit their support center to download the current list of journals available in Embase.
The Embase journal selection procedures provide a brief description of the criteria used for inclusion, along with the journal topic having a biomedical focus. A list of subject categories available through the Journal Title Suggestion form provides examples of eligible subjects.
As of December 2020, there is not a version of Embase specifically for mobile devices.
Most of the articles in Embase are peer reviewed, but some other material, such as conference papers, editorials, and letters, are not. There is no limiter specifically for peer review. Use Publication types to limit your search to Article, Review, and Article In Press. Most of what is left will be peer reviewed. To confirm whether a specific journal is peer reviewed, follow the "Full text on publisher’s website" link in the upper right corner to get to the journal's website, then find the about information for that journal.
For comprehensive Embase help see the Embase Support Center or click the ? link at the top right of Embase pages. In Advanced, Drug, Disease, or Device search, click on Search Tips for a chart of quick search-building information, such as Boolean operators and truncation/wildcard symbols. Video tutorials are available through the Support Center. For additional assistance, consult with a librarian.
Use the Quick Search to search for known pieces of information about a specific reference in order to retrieve the full citation. Select the item in the dropdown that corresponds to the type of information, such as Title or DOI. Or use the Article search and enter the known pieces of information.
