What is the SPIN database?
AIP’s SPIN (Searchable Physics Information Notices) database includes bibliographic records and abstracts for more than 1.5 million articles from major physical science journals, magazines, and conference proceedings published by the American Institute of Physics, its member societies, and other affiliated organizations. The SPIN database differs from Scitation in that it includes articles that are hosted on other online platforms. While anyone can search Scitation, searching the SPIN database requires a subscription – either personal or institutional – to one of the publications hosted on Scitation. Links from SPIN to articles hosted on other online publishing platforms are now in development.
