Embase is a highly versatile, multipurpose and up-to-date biomedical database which covers the most important international biomedical literature day - over 8,500 journals from over 95 countries, including 2,900 journals which are not available on MEDLINE - from 1947 to the present. It contains over 32 million records with full-text indexing of drug, disease and medical device data. Its additional advantage is that it provides over 2.3 million conference abstracts indexed from more than 7,000 conferences dating from 2009. It’s ideal for the preparation of a systematic review. Embase gives you a whole range of options to structure your search for greater precision: you can limit results to those that mention your search query in a specific search field or limit your search to records that are most commonly used in evidence based medicine; you can also focus on drugs, diseases and medical devices, respectively.
