EBSCO Information Services and American Geosciences Institute create GeoRef with Full Text

The resource combines AGI's expert geological indexing with full-text access to leading journals and magazines, offering expansive geoscience coverage across time and geography.


EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) and American Geosciences Institute (AGI), collaborated to release GeoRef with Full Text, which offers seamless access to full-text articles and conference materials, built on the trusted GeoRef index created by AGI. With authoritative indexing, global content in multiple languages, and more than 400 full-text magazines and journals spanning back to the 1930s, the database delivers a uniquely comprehensive and international view of geoscience research. Its trusted index serves as the foundation for the new resource.

The GeoRef Database, established by the American Geosciences Institute in 1966, is the most comprehensive database in the geosciences and continues to grow by about 100,000 references a year. The database contains over 4.7 million references to geoscience journal articles, books, maps, conference papers, reports, and theses. It covers the geology of North America from 1666 to the present and the geology of the rest of the world from 1933 to the present.

Covering a wide array of subjects within the earth sciences, GeoRef with Full Text provides researchers with an international and multidisciplinary collection of geoscience literature. Topics include economic geology, environmental and engineering geology, geophysics, hydrogeology, paleontology, petrology, marine geology, mineralogy and others.
