Among them, Compendex is an American engineering index database and the earliest source of engineering abstracts in the world. Compendex is the most comprehensive abstract database in science and technology engineering research, covering 190 engineering disciplines, including11300,000 abstract records from 1969 to now.

5、EBSCO

EBSCO Publishing (EP) is a business department of EBSCO Industries, Inc., which is fully responsible for products and services related to literature information. The earliest business was periodical subscription service.
