Abstract

The growing science of virology has witnessed a parallel expansion of its literature. This study was undertaken to demonstrate that this specialty literature can be efficiently extracted from the broader data base of general biology in which it is contained. The scope and coverage of virology literature by BIOSIS was reviewed in the study which was based on manual and computer‐supported identification of more than 2300 virology papers announced in Biological Abstracts (BA) and its sister publication over a five‐month period. Papers announced had been drawn from 495 different sources representing 44 different countries and eight fields of science other than microbiology and were printed in 20 sections of BA other than those dealing directly with virology. Nearly two‐thirds of the virology abstracts in BA originally appeared in journals published outside the United States; approximately half of these foreign abstracts were taken from Russian sources. The techniques of retrieval and further results of the study are presented.
