STM publisher Springer Science+Business Media, Germany, has announced the launch of SpringerMaterials – The Landolt-Börnstein Database (www.springermaterials.com). SpringerMaterials claims to be the most comprehensive and timely resource of data in physics, chemistry, materials science and engineering. The database comprises 91,000 online documents, 165,000 substances and materials systems, 3,000 properties and more than one million literature references.
SpringerMaterials was developed for scientists in academia and research departments in industry sectors such as industrial metals, semiconductors, electrical and electronic engineering, chemicals, aerospace and defence, and oil and gas. Scientists can easily access data on material parameters for their research and rely on critically evaluated information. International experts scan the primary literature in more than 8,000 peer-reviewed journals, and evaluate and select the most valid information to be included in the database. The users of SpringerMaterials save time by gaining quick access to reliable substance properties, functional relationships and numerical data. In addition, SpringerMaterials offers full-text search, advanced search features and tailor-made keyword searches for speedy and smart drilling into Landolt-Börnstein’s rich content.
SpringerMaterials is available as a subscription database on www.springermaterials.com and includes to date the complete Landolt-Börnstein New Series plus 40,000 REACH documents. In the future, more content and related databases will be added on a quarterly basis, keeping SpringerMaterials at the forefront of materials science.
SpringerMaterials will be officially launched at the London Online Information on December 1, 2009.
