For this reason, I will address the utility of individual sites and databases from the point of view of Social Sciences as a whole, and mention what sorts of information can be found in each resource, and in the case of databases, I will include in my discussion a list of relevant journals indexed. East European Politics and Society , and East European Quarterly . Current Contents , published by the Institute for Scientific Information, is a database which provides access to the tables of contents of almost 4,000 international journals for the last six months, among them Post-Soviet Geography , Russian and East European Finance and Trade , Sotsiologicheskie issledovaniia , East European Quarterly , East European Politics and Societies , Eastern European Economics , and Problems of Economic Transition . EconLit , published by the American Economics Association, indexes and abstracts approximately 300 English-language journals and books in the field of Economics, including Russian and East European Finance and Trade , and Eastern European Economics . FBIS , or Foreign Broadcast Information Service provides indexing to new broadcasts, newspapers, periodicals, government statements, and other worldwide press materials in English translation.
Some reports are available in paper copy as well.
FBIS does not index any of the journals discussed in this bibliography, but it does provide a valuable resource for political scientists, economists, and others interested in the press of Eastern European countries. Historical Abstracts , published by ABC-Clio, Inc., indexes research in the Humanities and Social Sciences, not including the United States and Canada. Journals indexed include East European Quarterly , Slavic Review , Sotsiologicheskie issledovaniia , Voprosy ekonomiki , East European Politics and Societies , and East European Quarterly . This service indexes international newspapers, magazines, wire services, newsletters, company and industry reports, and foreign news broadcasts. PsychLit , a database produced by the American Psychological Association, covers research from over 1,300 journals worldwide.
