COS Pivot is a directory of researchers and research funding opportunities that combines two comprehensive, editorially maintained databases:  the COS Funding Opportunities database of over 400,000 funding opportunities worth an estimated $33 billion, and the COS Scholar Universe database of 3 million profiles of scholars worldwide.  Its proprietary algorithm compiles pre-populated researcher profiles unique to an organization (such as University of Michigan) and matches them to revelant current funding opportunities.  This allows U-M users to search for a funding opportunity and instantly view matching faculty from inside or outside U-M.  Conversely, a search for a given scholar will link to matching funding opportunities.

Note:  Access to personalized features requires personal registration and login.  COS Pivot replaces the former COS Expertise service.

Continuously updated information on researchers and grant and other funding opportunities.

Combines three citation indexes--Arts & Humanities, Science Expanded, and Social Sciences--which permit searching for articles that cite a known author or work, as well as searching by subject, author, journal, and author address. Covers 12,000+ journals.

1900 - (1900 - for Social Sciences; 1975 - for Arts & Humanities, 1900 - for Science)

The Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is a NASA-funded project which maintains three bibliographic databases containing more than 4.4 million records: Astronomy and Astrophysics, Physics, and ArXiv e-prints. The main body of data in the ADS consists of bibliographic records, which are searchable through the Abstract Service query forms, and full-text of some of the astronomical literature which can be browsed though the Browse interface. To activate our MGet It (formerly SFX) services, choose "Open URL Settings" from the ADS "Preferences" page: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/pref_set Select "Library Server" for "University of Michigan" and save. This is a cookie-based system, so settings will be removed when you delete cookies. Coverage is typically (but not always comprehensively) back to 1975, with some coverage of pre-1975 years.

1975 - present

On ENGINEERING VILLAGE platform, covers the world-wide literature (mainly journal articles and conference proceedings papers) in astronomy, physics, electronics and electrical engineering, computers and control, and information technology.

INSPEC grows by about 330,000 records per year. 1896-

An index to the literature of the particle and high-energy physics community. Supersedes the SPIRES database started by the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center(SLAC) in the late 1960's.

Search over 500,000 high-energy physics related articles. Includes journal papers, preprints, e-prints, technical reports, conference papers and theses. Produced since the late 1960s, and comprehensively indexed by the SLAC and DESY libraries since 1974. Covers some articles published as far back as the 1920's.

Contains access to more than 2,000 journals published by Elsevier Science and its subsidiary publishers, including Academic Press, Cell Press, Pergamon, Mosby, and Saunders journals. Coverage is particularly strong for the life and physical sciences, medicine, and technical fields, but also includes some social sciences and humanities.

1996 -

Provides full-text access to scholarly journals in physics and engineering published by the Institute of Physics.

varies by journal title

Key index to articles from major journals in all areas of science and technology. Use to find other articles citing a specific article (footnotes in reverse).

1900 -

Contains citations, with abstracts, to literature on basic and applied research in aeronautics, astronautics, and space sciences. The database also includes coverage of reports issued by NASA, other U.S. government agencies, international institutions.
