Inspec, the world's leading bibliographic information service providing access to the world's scientific and technical literature, is produced by The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). Updated weekly, it provides current, in-depth, global coverage of the technical literature in physics, electrical engineering, electronics, communications, control engineering, computers, computing, information technology, manufacturing and production engineering. Available via ISI Web of KnowledgeSM, it also includes powerful searching and linking capabilities.

- More than 9,500,000 bibliographic records from publications worldwide
- Approximately 400,000 new records added each year
- Over 3,850 scientific and technical journals, plus books, reports, and 2,000 conference proceedings
- Coverage from 1898 to the present*
- A variety of search options, including advanced search (command line searching), and using Controlled Index Terms, Thesaurus Terms and Classification Code Indexes, Treatment Codes; and Chemical Substance, Numerical Data, and Astronomical Object Indexing
- Inspec Archive -- the entire backfile of Science Abstracts Journals, the precursor to the Inspec database -- is available in searchable form. This option allows users to access over 70 additional years of international scientific and technical literature in physics, electrical engineering, electronics, computing and control engineering. Only via ISI Web of Knowledge can they see citing information for these historic records. This information from 176 print volumes that date from 1968 back to Volume I in 1898 includes 873,700 bibliographic records, plus indexing.
