Inspec has been the definitive engineering and physics research database for over 50 years. Produced by The Institution of Engineering and Technology, Inspec, is a comprehensive index to the global journal and proceedings literature in physics, electrical/electronic engineering, computing, control engineering, and information technology. Updated weekly, Inspec provides data from journals, conferences and other sources including books, reports, dissertations and videos.
When connected to the multidisciplinary citations on the Web of Science™ platform, Inspec becomes so much more. Nearly every discovery is influenced by earlier research, both in its subject area and in related fields, and a publication can have significant influence and impact on other research after is has been published. No other platform has a full citation network to accurately and confidently connect you to the highest quality multidisciplinary research.
