SOME USEFUL SEARCH ENGINES AND DATABASES


Google Scholar makes it easy to carry out an extensive search of academic works. From a single location, you can explore a wide range of subject areas and sources: peer-reviewed articles, theses, books, abstracts and papers. These works can come from sources such as scientific publishers, learned societies, pre-publication repositories, universities and other research organizations. Google Scholar enables you to identify the most relevant research from the academic world. Google Scholar sorts articles in the same way as researchers, taking into account the full text of the article, the author, the publication in which the article appeared and the number of times it is cited in other academic works. The most relevant results are always displayed on the first page.


WEB OF KNOWLEDGE provides access to the Web of Science (WOS), a multidisciplinary bibliographic database, and to Journal Citation Reports (JCR), a tool for evaluating international scientific journals.

EBSCOHOST offers access to numerous multidisciplinary and full-text bibliographic databases.

PERSÉE is a portal to scientific journals in the humanities and social sciences. Persée is a national scientific library program supported by the MESR and implemented by Université Lyon 2, in collaboration with Maison de l'Orient Méditerranéen, Université Paris-Descartes and CINES.    
You will find here, for example, the Annales de Géographie, the Bulletin de l'Association de Géographes français, Quaternaire, the Revue de Géographie Alpine...

DATABASES REPERTIFIED BY INEE CNRS that may be useful for GEODE work


 Centre de ressources national de la FCBN (Fédération des Conservatoires Botaniques Nationaux)
on French Flora
More than 20 million observation data on 7,687 species of flora in France, mainland France and Reunion Island, are now available to the public on the web platform developed by the FCBN.

Indigéo
 is a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) dedicated to research and scientific observation of the environment in Western France.
This database is an archaeozoological and archaeobotanical inventory of France. The combination of natural heritage inventories with historical and archaeological inventories is a necessity if we are to have a vision of the evolution of biodiversity over the long term. The Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle has been collecting, preserving and making available archaeozoological data from mainland France since 2004, and archaeobotanical data - mainly charcoal (anthracology), seeds and fruits (carpology) and pollens (palynology) - since 2008. These data are also used to assess the progress of research in the field. You can access it directly on http://inpn.mnhn.fr/programme/inventaires-historiques-et-archeologiques.
  • ANTHRACO :Storage and processing of anthracological analytical data. You can access http://ntarcheo2.univ-rennes1.fr or http://www.bdd-inee.cnrs.fr/ directly. Then simply download the files.
  • CARROT : (Carrot and Archives for Temporal Observation of the Environment) : This database brings together metadata and data from lake sediment cores. This database is both a tool for managing “core” objects (storage - sampling) and a tool for archiving and pooling analytical data acquired by our laboratory and partner laboratories.

This database is divided into 3 distinct modules :
  • Mission report” module: location, description and context of the mission, logistics and implementation, actions and sampling.
  • Storage” module: management of incoming and outgoing cores from cold rooms for Edytem or other laboratories.
  • Data” module : identity sheet for 1/2 cores and dashboard for each lake to centralize metadata and data.

This tool enables you to track sampling and samples. Some fifty different analyses can be referenced (Physical parameters - Chemistry - Biology).
  • Cat’-BMP : Cat’-BMP is the online data catalog of the Observatoire Hommes-Milieux du bassin minier de Provence (OHM-BMP). This catalog is based on GeoNetwork opensource version 2.6.4.
  • DIGITALE 2 :  Information system on flora and vegetation developed at the Conservatoire botanique national de Bailleul (CBNBl). Digitale2 brings together all the information on wild plants and vegetation in the Haute-Normandie, Picardie and Nord-Pas de Calais regions, i.e. 3.5 million dynamic data items. More than 370,000 documentary and phytosociological references on flora and vegetation from all over the world.
