The database provides abstracts of journal articles and citations to book reviews drawn from over 1,800+ serials publications, and also provides abstracts of books, book chapters, dissertations, and conference papers. Records published by Sociological Abstracts in print during the database's first 11 years, 1952-1962, have been added to the database as of November 2005, extending the depth of the backfile of this authoritative resource. The database contains over 795,518 records as of June 2007.
A list of current journal list is available from

Type of coverage
|
|
Many records from key journals in sociology, added to the database since 2002, also include
the references cited in the bibliography of the source article. Each individual reference may
also have links to an abstract and/or to other papers that cite that reference; these links
increase the possibility of finding more potentially relevant articles. These references are
linked both within Sociological Abstracts and across other social science databases available
on CSA Illumina.
