The IEEE Xplore database merges a subset of the INSPEC bibliographic database of Abstracts, compiled from technical journals published worldwide, with full-page images of all publications and HTML versions of some publications. To locate articles, you can use IEEE Xplore to search complete Abstract records using the following functions:
Basic and Advanced search options to search through Abstracts and article text.
Author search by last name and initials.
Index terms that you can click to search the database for documents containing the term.
References link to view a list of the article's referenced documents with links to view the Abstract, full-text PDF, Buy via Ask*IEEE, or CrossRef.
"Citing Documents" link to view documents that cite the current document.
Author name links to search for other documents written by that author.
CrossRef Search to search through publications by other leading publishers participating in the CrossRef system.
The IEEE Xplore database contains complete original page images, including all charts, graphs, diagrams, photographs, and illustrative material, from an integrated-circuit schematic to a topographic map to a photograph of a new crystalline structure. All articles, papers, and standards are in PDF format so you see them as published.
In addition, the IEEE Xplore database contains HTML-formatted versions of Proceedings of the IEEE and IEEE Spectrum starting from 2002.
Each document -- article, paper, and standard -- in IEEE Xplore is tagged with a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) for persistent, convenient digital access.
