Description
Sociological Abstracts "abstracts and indexes the international literature in sociology and related disciplines in the social and behavioral sciences. The database provides abstracts of journal articles and citations to book reviews drawn from over 1,700 serials publications, and also provides abstracts of books, book chapters, dissertations, and conference papers. Records added after 1974 contain in-depth and nonevaluative abstracts of journal articles." From 2001, many records also include "the references cited in the bibliography of the source article. Each individual reference may also have links to an abstract and/or to other papers that cite that reference."
