Compendex is an engineering-focused knowledge and data discovery database that provides comprehensive and trustworthy content to improve research outcomes and maximize the impact of your engineering research. Use Compendex to find answers to the following questions, and more:
Within Compendex, you can search across the following content:
Taxonomies provide a systematic way of organizing and categorizing information.
They provide a subject based bird's-eye view of the topics contained within your search.
Content Discovery Made Easy. Our taxonomy ensures accurate results by using standardized terms that remove context ambiguity (medical stress vs mechanical stress).
We also consider the many ways something can be referred to in the literature. You no longer must search for "air conditioning" or "air conditioned “air conditioner" ,"air conditioners” ,"airconditioning", OR ,"airconditioned" , “air con” or HVAC. A single search for “air conditioning” will retrieve all variations using the standardised subject classification provided by EV taxonomies.
Comprehensive Coverage and Enhanced Search and Retrieval: Don't miss out on important studies that could impact your research. Our taxonomy system helps you identify gaps in your literature review by suggesting related or relevant papers. You'll have a comprehensive overview of the existing literature, ensuring you don't overlook any critical sources.
Over 1.4M open access preprints from arXiv, TechRxiv, Research Square, and SSRN are discoverable on Engineering Village by all users selecting “Compendex” as the database to explore. Use the preprints (PP) content/document type.
Preprints can be included or excluded from search by using the “Document Type” filter (which includes other document types such as journal, conference proceedings, dissertations, books, standards, and more) and are also visible in the Related Documents section. While preprints are not peer-reviewed, they offer a window into upcoming research, helping academics stay up to date with the work of their peers.
The preprints in Compendex are indexed with the controlled vocabulary from the Ei Thesaurus as well as numerical & chemical indexing, enriching results when performing precise search and numerical data search. More content will be added weekly.
