Electronic research databases provider EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO), US, has acquired two databases from academic publisher SAGE. These are: Criminal Justice Abstracts and Communication Abstracts. The deal will bring two leading databases in their fields to users through the EBSCOhost platform.
Criminal Justice Abstracts and Communication Abstracts claim to be highly-refined, specialised collections in their subject areas. With these databases are on EBSCOhost, users will see an increase in the number of journals included cover-to-cover and searchable references for many titles.

Both databases will also feature a Publications Authority of key titles.
