The Library announces: Compendex – Elsevier database
INPE’s library division publicizes information about Compendex database for Engineering and Technology areas, accessible through the Periodical Portal of CAPES.
Elsevier publishing house emphasizes that the access of INPE to this database is threatened due to the low use of the Institute. Periodically, CAPES requests the usage statistics revision of the Compendex, and the institutions with less than 100 searches per year lose the access. During 2023 and the last months, INPE made a few research on Compendex, that is why we run the risk of losing the access to this valuable research resource.
Compendex is a reference base and a research summary in disponible technic and scientific engineering, covering all the engineering disciplines. This includes more than seventeen million registers among bibliographic citations and summaries, engineering periodicals and congresses annals and events of seventy-three countries in 190 Engineering disciplines. When combined with the Engineering Index Backfile (1884-1969) base, Compendex covers more than 120 years of the main literature of the engineering area. Each record is selected and indexed using Engineering Index Thesaurus which, founded in 1884, keep records of practically all the major engineering innovations from 1884-1969, with more than 1,7 million of records around the world. Ei backfile offers a historical in-depth view of the engineering innovation of the 1884-1969 with more than 1,7 million digitalized records from the original impressions index.

The next training of this base is destined to academics, researchers and engineering students that already utilize Compendex in their work or research and wish to improve their abilities in research and analysis. The participants are going to learn how to use the advanced tools of Compendex to make search more precise, and how to analyze the results to obtain valuable information.
