We will soon remove access for Global health archive from Ovid:

http://gateway.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&MODE;=ovid&PAGE;=main&NEWS;=n&DBC;=y&D;=cagh0

and replace it with CAB Direct so that both the cur­rent and archive files will be accessed via CAB Direct:

http://www.cabdirect.org/

Please update any instruc­tional or pub­lic web­pages to reflect this change.

Access to Global health and Global health archives is now avail­able via the CAB Direct platform:

http://www.cabdirect.org

Global health via CAB Direct replaces the UW’s for­mer sub­scrip­tion via the Ovid plat­form (can­celled Decem­ber 2010)

Global Health is the only spe­cial­ist bib­li­o­graphic, abstract­ing and index­ing data­base ded­i­cated to pub­lic health research and practice.

Derived from over 3500 jour­nals, plus reports, books and con­fer­ences, Global Health con­tains over 1.2 mil­lion sci­en­tific records from 1973 to the present. Over 90,000 records are added each year, and over 95% of these records include an abstract.

Pub­li­ca­tions from over 158 coun­tries in 50 lan­guages are abstracted, and all rel­e­vant non-English-language papers are trans­lated to give access to research not avail­able through any other database.

The database’s open seri­als pol­icy and cov­er­age of inter­na­tional and grey lit­er­a­ture means that 40% of mate­r­ial con­tained in Global Health is unique to the data­base. Every­thing from pro­ceed­ings, patents, the­ses, elec­tronic only pub­li­ca­tions and other difficult-to-obtain sources are included.

The archive is a fully search­able mod­ern data­base of research dat­ing from 1910 to 1972, con­tain­ing 800,000 records derived from six printed abstract jour­nals. Global Health Archive is fully com­pat­i­ble with Global Health and can be searched along­side it for records from 1910 to the present day. Together they pro­vide a global pic­ture of inter­na­tional pub­lic health research both past and present.
