Label        Name/Example
=====        ============


AB           Abstract [Word Indexed]
             fish populations.ab.
             yucca.ab.

The Abstract (AB) field contains the full text of the abstract.

The abstract includes key points of the source article. Most records
have abstracts and when available, authors' abstracts are used,
although they may be edited to CSA style. The abstract index contains
all searchable words; however, to find precisely what you want, use
only distinctive words and phrases and do not use any stop words such
as "the" and "of."



AC           Agency Code (ESPM only) [Word Indexed]
             army.ac.
             af.ac.


The Agency Code (AC) field is unique to Environmental Impact Statements
and refers to the primary United States government agency that prepared
the impact statement.  This field displays as part of the Agency (AG)
field.

             aquatic organisms.af.
             paper mill.af.

All Fields (AF) is an alias for all of the fields which occur in the
source documents, including value-added fields such as Subject Headings.
The only thing excluded from an All Fields search are fields such as
"floating subheading" or "Heading word" which are created by the loading
process and do not actually appear in the records.


AG           Agency (ESPM only) [Word Indexed]
             department of the army.ag.
             department of transportation.ag.

             ca9300996.ai.

The ASFA Input Center Number (AI) is unique to ASFA: Aquatic Sciences
& Fisheries Abstracts and its component subfiles. The letters at the
beginning of the number indicate which ASFA center indexed and input
that record. For a complete list of the available input centers, look
under the ASFA Input Center Limit.

If you know the two letter code for the Input Center, you can search
that code directly in the tr index by using the qualification .tr.



AN           Accession Number [Phrase Indexed]
             0273785.an.
             3946976.an.

number assigned by Cambridge Scientific Abstracts.


AU           Author [Phrase Indexed]
             jeon j k.au.
             smith$.au.

The Author (AU) field currently contains up to 14 author name(s) per
record, but this has not always been the case.  If the document
is a patent this field contains the inventor name(s).  Each author name
has the format: Lastname I I.

Some of the computer science and engineering databases include first
names. Because you will not know before you start searching whether
first names or initials are used, you may want to do a test search
first, display and record and look at the format of the author name.

Enter the last name, or if it is a common name, enter the last name and
first initial.  If you are unsure of the spelling of the last name
(macdonald or mcdonald), enter one version and then scroll through the
list of names to find the other.


AV           Availability [Phrase Indexed]
             http wwwcdc$.av.

The Corporate Author (CA) field contains corporate authors in the format
Organization name, city (country), for example:

National Research Council, Washington, DC (USA)

It can also include departments and sub-departments.

This is the name of the organization that has produced the original
source document. This field is often present when there is no personal
author field. However, for patent records, the name in the Corporate
author field is the patent holder (and the name[s] in the Author field
is the inventor).

Often, the city and country are also provided; in older records the
following abbreviations may still be seen--FRG for the former West
Germany; GDR for the former East Germany, and USSR for former Union
of Soviet Socialist Republics.

The information is taken from the source document and is not
standardized.  Enter the single most descriptive word in an a corporate
author, for example, "harvard" not "university".  Use the distinctive
parts of the name and do not search for designations such as Corp, Co,
Company, Ltd. etc. Consider both full spellings and abbreviations.


CC           Classification [Phrase Indexed]
             ee803.cc.
             q4 4450.cc.

The Classification (CC) field contains the Cambridge Scientific
Abstracts Journal name, the classification codes and classification
code names in square brackets.  This field is browsable by way of a
Classification Code Tool.

The classification codes and descriptions are broad subject headings
that are specific to various databases.  For example, SW 0850 is the
classification code used in the Water Resources Abstracts to denote
that the source document in primarily about lakes. Due to the
interdisciplinary nature of much of the material covered, one record
may have several classifications.



CL           Patent Classification [Phrase Indexed]
             435 886.cl.
             a01n.cl.

             17-28.co.

The Collation (CO) field contains the volume number, issue number and
inclusive page numbers of a book or other monograph.  This field
usually displays as a part of the Source (SO) field.


CW           Classification Word [Word Indexed]
             geomagnetism.cw.
             migrations.cw.

The Classification Word (CW) field allows you to search for all
instances of a particular word in a Classification (CC).

The classification codes and descriptions are broad subject headings
that are specific to various databases. For example, SW 0850 is the
classification code used in Water Resources Abstracts to denote that
the source document is primarily about lakes. Due to the
interdisciplinary nature of much of the material covered, one record
may have several classifications.


DP           Date of Publication [Phrase Indexed]
             1993.dp.
             1997.dp.

             guillou m.ed.
             schmitt$.ed.

The Editor (ED) field contains up to 10 author name(s).  Each editor
name has the format: Lastname I. I. In most CSA databases, editors of
books and conference proceedings appear in this field.

list of names to find the other.


ER           Environmental Regime (ASFA records only) [Phrase Indexed]
             marine.er.
             brackish.er.

The possible values in the Environmental Regime (ER) field are marine,
brackish, and freshwater. Typical uses of the Environmental Regime
include limiting a search for a biological species to its occurrence in
only brackish water, or retrieving all records relevant to the
freshwater environment in a specific country.



HW           Heading Words [Word Indexed]
             ultraviolet radiation.hw.
             ecosystem management.hw.

Sometimes you may wish to retrieve every Subject Heading or Identifier
that includes a particular word or words; this is done by
searching the desired word(s) in the Subject Heading Word (HW) field.


IB           ISBN [Phrase Indexed]
             0120261286.ib.
             1560220120.ib.

The ISBN (IB) field contains the International Standard Book
Number (ISBN). Its purpose is to uniquely identify a book title, an
edition of a book, or a monograph produced by a specific publisher.

Each ISBN number consists of ten digits. They have been put into the
index without spaces or dashes.



ID           Identifiers [Phrase Indexed]
             exxon valdez.id.
             endangered species act.id.

The Identifier (ID) field contains free language words or phrases
assigned by Cambridge Scientific Abstracts to give fuller notation of
the document content than that provided by the controlled index terms.

This field contains subject terms not included in the controlled
vocabulary but considered by the indexer to be extremely relevant to
the record. They may be single word or multiple word terms. Since
identifiers are not selected from the controlled vocabulary, different
synonyms for the same subject may appear in this field, as well as
abbreviations and acronyms. Also, company names, trademarks, the names
of legislative acts, government policies and new and up-coming methods
and procedures are often assigned as identifiers. Like descriptors,
these terms may not appear in the title or abstract, and therefore serve
as additional ways to focus your search.

The Identifiers field may have more value when you are looking for
activities or mentions of an organization and you do not want all
fields to be searched, because you may retrieve irrelevant records
containing the organization name, e.g., the affiliation of the author
or sponsor of a conference.

This field is used in two different ways in the backfiles.

In backfiles from 1982 through 1992 (issue 7), it contains both
descriptors and identifiers mixed together.

In backfiles from 1992 (issue 8) to the present, it contains only
identifiers.

Identifiers are entered into the index as phrases and should be searched
exactly as they appear.


IN           Institution [Word Indexed]
             cornell.in.
             waterloo.in.

The Institution (IN) field contains the primary author's
affiliation.  The affiliation appears as shown in the printed document.
If there are multiple authors, only the first author's affiliation is
given, unless another author is "asterisked". Affiliation is always
abbreviated and includes the complete mailing address, when available.
The affiliation could have changed since the original document was
published.

The information is taken from the source document and is not
standardized.  Enter the single most descriptive word in an
institution, for example, "harvard" not "university".  Consider both
full spellings and abbreviations.



IS           ISSN [Phrase Indexed]
             0019-9567.is.
             0022 1317.is.

The ISSN (IS) field contains the International Standard Serial Number
for the journal in which an article was published.

The ISSN is the International Standard Serial Number and is a unique
number identifying serial publications such as journals. It appears as
an 8 digit number, separated by a hyphen. The ISSN consists of two
groups of four digits in Arabic  numerals, except possibly for the last,
check digit, which may be an X. This conformity makes it easy to search
for ISSNs, which can be entered with or without the hyphen between the
two groups of four characters.

             veterinary .jw.
             paleobiology.jw.

The Journal Word (JW) field contains the Cambridge Scientific Abstracts
abbreviation of the Source journal title and/or the full title of the
source journal.

The information is not standardized.  Enter the single most descriptive
word in a journal title.  Consider both full spellings and
abbreviations.

A single heavily posted word, such as "journal" will search slowly.


LG           Language [Phrase Indexed]
             fr.lg
             fre.lg.
             french.lg.

The Language (LG) field contains the original language(s) of the entire
document.  The language French will appear as "French" but is also
indexed with the Cambridge Scientific Abstracts two character language
code as well as the Ovid three digit language code.

If there is no language field in the record, it can be assumed the
original text is in English.

             marine biotechnology abstracts q4.sf.

Many of the major CSA databases are composed of several Subfiles (SF)
merged into one comprehensive and cohesive database. In these major
databases, a subfile name corresponds to the print product (for
example, the abstracts journal) in which the record originally
appeared. A few subfiles exist only as archives because the print
equivalent is no longer published. In these large databases, the
Subfile field can be used to limit a search to a specific discipline.

Other databases that do not have subfiles, merely list the database
name in the Subfile field.


SH           Subject Headings [Phrase Indexed]
             biocides.sh.
             finite element method.sh.

The Subject Headings (SH) field contains the Subject Headings, also
known as descriptors (DE), used by indexers to describe the content
of a document.  Subject Headings may be controlled subject index terms
taken from the controlled vocabulary or thesaurus for each database,
Latin taxonomic names for biological organisms, which are indexed to
the appropriate hierarchical level (usually genus and species names),
or controlled terms for geographic locations taken from the ASFIS-7
Geographic Authority List.  A geographic term may include a hierarchy
of place names separated by commas. Subject Headings are entered into
the index as phrases and should be searched exactly as they appear.

This field contains indexing terms taken from a thesaurus or controlled
vocabulary. These descriptors may be single or multi-word terms and
serve as standard ways to describe the subject of the original
document. They may refer to very specific items or to general concepts;
often the word or term is not to be found anywhere else in the record,
including in the title or the abstract, so a descriptor provides
another way for finding the information you want. If you are already
familiar with the vocabulary used to index a particular database or can
easily refer to it, searching this field retrieves focused results.



SL           Summary Language [Phrase Indexed]
             norwegian.sl.
             spanish.sl.

The Summary Language (SL) field indicates the language(s) of abstracts

English, then no summary language displays.


SO           Source [Phrase Indexed]
             functional ecology.so.
             marine geophysical researches.so.

The Source (SO) field includes a display of all the basic information
needed to locate a citation, including the Journal Name (JN) (sometimes
Journal Abbreviation) or Monograph Publisher, Place of Publication,
Book Title, the Source Description (the Vol/Issue, pagination) and
Publication date.

             dna analysis.ti.
             leaf rust.ti.

The Title (TI) field contains the English language version of a title
of journal paper, book, book chapter, conference proceedings, report,
report section, patent.

For documents which were not written in English, the original or
transliterated title usually appears in a separate field,
Original Title (OT).

Stopwords such as "of" or "the" will display in documents but do not
appear in the Title index.  However, the word "a," which is a
stopword in other fields, can be searched in the title.



UP           Update Code [Phrase Indexed]
             199705.up.

The Update Code (UP) is in the format YYYYMM, where YYYY is the 4 digit
year and MM is the month of the update. For example, 199706 signifies
the June update of 1997.


YR           Year of Publication [Phrase Indexed]
             1993.yr.
             91.yr.

The Year of Publication (YR) field contains the year in which a document

  COAST OF FLORIDA EROSION AND STORM EFFECTS STUDY, REGION III; BROWARD,

Abstract: EIS Purpose
  The implementation of beach nourishment, dune stabilization, and sand
  transfer plant construction measures in order to address shoreline erosion
  and storm damage in southeastern Florida is proposed. The project area
  includes 88 miles of shoreline in Palm Beach, Broward, and Dade counties,
  extending from the southern end of Key Biscayne to the Jupiter Inlet in
  northern Palm Beach County. All of Florida's 8,400 miles of tidal
  shoreline are low-lying and vulnerable to storm surge and other
  storm-associated damage. The southeastern beaches (Region III) were
  identified as the first section of a statewide study because it is the
  most densely populated coastal region in Florida, and has the largest
  local, state, and federal investment in shore protection. Issues
  identified in the scoping process include the source of the sand to be
  used for beach nourishment, impacts of nourishment on sea turtle
  populations and sea grass beds, and impacts of turbidity and sedimentation
  on hardgrounds. Under the currently proposed combination of alternatives,
  beaches would be restored within 21 distinct segments of shoreline through
  beach fill and nearshore berm placement. Permanent sand transfer plants
  would be established for the Lake Worth and South Lake Worth Inlets. Dune
  stabilization through grassing would occur where necessary. Bahamian sand
  would be used for sand-starved areas in Broward and Dade Counties,
  creating 215 acres of new beach that should be an ideal habitat for sea
  turtle nesting. The total estimated first cost to implement these projects
  is $87.5 million.
Positive Impact
  The project would protect against erosion damage and offset erosion
  effects, improve management of federal shore protection projects, provide
  effective protection for the economy, enhance the appearance of the
  coastal zone and its suitability for beach recreation and sea turtle
  nesting, and reduce expected storm-induced damage. Sand placed within the
  project limits would also feed the downdrift beaches to the south.
Negative Impact
  Dredging and beach restoration activities would destroy benthic habitat,
  temporarily increase water turbidity, and possibly injure such endangered
  species as manatees and sea turtles. The immediate adverse effects to the
  borrow site would be the temporary defaunation of the benthic community.

Abstract
  By means of both pot and field tests, this paper studied the contents of
  Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn and As and their ecological effects on plant-soil system,
  in tissues of crops and soil microorganisms. It was found that there exist
  synergistic effect among these five elements, especially for Cd in
  combination. The reclamation of soil polluted by these elements in
  combination is rather difficult to be carried out. The distinctive
  ecological and chemical behaviors between Cd and As make various
  reclamation measures less applicable, and thus, further research measures
  are necessary.
