Records are added to the database five to seven days from receipt of the printed publication When you search IDS databases in the area of the materials sciences, this supplemental database is searched simultaneously. By clicking on this choice, you will find relevant citations of articles that are not yet in the IDS database. The Materials Science Collection Recent References database is a pre-publication file that contains records in process for one or more of the collection's core databases. The Recent References file represents the future content for these Materials Collection databases. Records are drawn from all publications used for the core databases.
Publications can be serial or non-serial and from either print or electronic media.
The amount of information included in the record reflects its progress in the processing route. Records with all fields completed are within 2-4 weeks of being transferred to their respective databases depending on the timing of the update. Once the full record appears in the database, it will no longer be available in the Recent References file.
