Crop and Soil Sciences: GALILEO Databases

The American Chemical Society Symposium Series covers a broad range of topics including agricultural and food chemistry, cellulose and renewable materials, chemical education, organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, materials, and many others. It contains peer-reviewed books developed from the ACS technical divisions' symposia.

These databases are unique in that the user can search to find which articles have cited a certain author or article. This technique of doing research, called pearl growing, allows researchers to find articles that are related to an earlier work. Often this technique turns up articles which are not found through traditional subject and keyword searches.

The Biomedical Science Suite is further subdivided as Biochemistry, Biomedical Engineering, Biophysics and Biomolecular Structure, Cell and Developmental Biology, Ecology and Systematics, Entomology, Genetics, Genomics and Human Genetics, Immunology, Medicine, Microbiology, Neuroscience, Nutrition, Pharmacology and Toxicology, Physiology, Phytopathology, Plant Physiology and Plant Molecular Biology, Psychology, and Public Health.

The Physical Science Suite is further subdivided as Astronomy and Astrophysics, Biomedical Engineering, Biophysics and Biomolecular Structure, Earth and Planetary Sciences, Energy and the Environment, Fluid Mechanics, Materials Science, Nuclear and Particle Science, and Physical Chemistry.

The Social Science Suite is further subdivided as Anthropology, Energy and Environment, Political Science, Psychology, Public Health, and Sociology.

• ASABE's three journals: Applied Engineering in Agriculture, Journal of Agricultural Safety and Health and Transactions of the ASABE (ASAE).
• Papers presented at its meetings and conferences.
• Technical books including textbooks and monographs.
• ASABE Standards and Engineering Practices are voluntary, consensus industry standards developed and adopted by ASABE.

The site was launched in January 2001 with technical documents added as they were published through out the year. Some material published prior to 2001 has been added to the site in PDF only format. More is scheduled to be added as funds allow.

The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) is a professional and technical organization dedicated to the advancement of engineering applicable to agricultural, food, and biological systems.
