Abstract

Scatter of information on medicinal plant genus Salvia in international journals via bibliographic records in major international life-sciences databases (AGRIS, CAB Abstracts, Derwent Biotechnology Abstracts, EMBASE, FSTA, ISTP, Life Sciences Collection, MEDLINE, NAPRALERT; SCI (SciSearch), and to a limited extent in the Chemical Abstracts and the Biological Abstracts) is investigated. An experimental union database in order to exclude all the duplicates was compiled. Some 1600 different references for the period 1986-1995 were obtained. 1274 references-articles that were judged as relevant by an end-user from the field were considered for further investigation. These were extracted from 503 different journals. 629 relevant references amongst the 1274 were available in Slovenian libraries in each pertaining year. 421 amongst 1274 were indexed by SCI. 322 of SCI references were available in Slovenia. The nucleus of 14 core journals (amongst 503) contains approximately a third of all relevant references/articles with the most productive journal containing as many as 116 Salvia-related articles not being directly available in Slovenia. 6 are not indexed by SCI. Regardless of the zone in the bibliograph some 50% of articles are available in Slovenia, on the other hand the available articles/journals appear on average in more than 2 copies what leaves some room for improved subscription policy.
