CAB Abstracts

CAB Abstracts is the leading English-language bibliographic and abstract database*.
It gives researchers instant access to over 8.4 million records from 1973 onwards.
Its coverage of the applied life sciences includes agriculture, environment, veterinary sciences, applied economics, food science and nutrition.

Access

FAO employees may access CAB abstracts through the Ovid search interface by authenticating themselves with their FAO credentials (through EZproxy). 

Search

For help with searching the database, please take a look (outside of the SAG) at the OVID tutorial Selecting a Search Modality and other available tutorials & short demos on the training page of OVID.

* Please note that you can only obtain the full-text of an article if the FAO Library has a subscription to the journal in question.
