Current Abstract and Index Periodicals of Interest to Chemists A Selected List
T. E. R. SINGER
T
HE list below is of periodicals which are of interest to chemists, includes index and abstract journals in related fields, and directs attention to certain chemical journals which devote a greater proportion of the publication to abstracts in their special subjects. Especial mention may be made of the Review of Physical Chemistry of Japan, which includes extended abstracts in English of papers on physical chemistry appearing in Japanese publications in Japanese, a language with which relatively few American chemists are familiar. In normal times a number of additional journals published large sections devoted to abstracts, and they would ordinarily be included. This list, however, is compiled with regard to the present situation, and includes journals which now devote considerable space to abstracts and, as far as known, are still being received in this country. Chemical Abstracts, and its equivalent in England. Germany, and France have not been included, since all chemists are familiar with these publications. Periodicals published in Slavonic languages only, and periodicals on medical sciences are not listed, nor are those which contain only a few abstracts per issue. The dates given are in most cases those when the publication of abstracts started, and are not necessarily the dates of the first volumes. The frequency, price, and publisher, where not identical with the name of the publication, are given, and also subscription rate in the country of publication. In some European countries the foreign subscription rate is more, in others less, than the domestic. With the present war in progress, it should be borne in mind that the price, as well as the frequency of European periodicals, is subject to variation. The arrangement is alphabetical by title of the periodical with a subject index at the end referring to the numbered entries.
