November 15th, 2010 by | Comments Off on Database Feature: PrimateLit
PrimateLit is a multi-disciplinary database covering many aspects of non-human primate research, including paleoprimatology, behaviour, learning & perception. Searches include limits by geographical region (of the primates), taxonomic category, and common name. A subset of the database, Current Primate Research, contains records added in the past six months and is an excellent current awareness tool. It supports browsing by one (or several) of 25 disciplines, further optional refinement by selecting from a list of body regions and systems, plus a date limit selection of the previous 1, 2, 3 or 6 months.
PrimateLit‘s search features make it an excellent complement to other databases that include references to research on non-human primates, such as BIOSIS Previews, PsycINFO and PubMed.
