14 Good Reasons Why You Should Spend $1250 a Year for a

Permuterm^® Subject Index

1 MULTI-ENTRY INDEXING The key to PS/™ indexing is title indexing in-depth by presenting alphabetized entries for every possible pairing of words in titles and subtitles.

2 SPEED AND FLEXIBILITY PSI's technique of pairing words enables the user to locate any combination of terms quickly without having to examine a number of irrelevant items under a particular term.

3 SPECIFICITY AND SELECTIVITY PSI searches involving a single term are quick and efficient. Searches involving two or more terms are especially easy, as simple as an alphabetical look-up. Terms may even be used to exclude certain types of information.

4 UNIQUENESS The PSI is a "natural language” indexing system based on the real language of science, the current living vocabulary used today by publishing authors, not indexers.

5 COMPREHENSIVENESS The PSI policy of indexing all articles within a journal, regardless of discipline, prevents coverage gaps associated with the selective subject indexes.

6 JOURNAL SELECTION The PSI selection of important journals in all important fields is based, in part, on highly accurate citation analyses of their articles, not a mindless lifting of titles from other lists.

7 MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCOPE The PSI covers over 90 disciplines, categorizing the journals by subject and by country.

8 EXTENSIVE COVERAGE The PSI for 1967 covers 300,000 scientific and technological items.

9 SOURCE IDENTIFICATION All the source items are listed alphabetically by author in the accompanying Source Index. The source material identifies type of items as well as all co-authors and includes full bibliographic details.

10 CROSS-REFERENCED AUTHORS Comprehensive cross-references are provided for every co-author. Thus, all current articles by a given author can be identified in one place in the Source Index.

11 CALENDAR YEAR COVERAGE The PSI is a calendar year index and, for the journals covered, includes all items published and available by the end of the year.

12 TRANSLATION Foreign language titles are indexed under the corresponding English terms. Judicious manmachine editing has been applied as much as possible to standardize spelling variations.

13 RELIABILITY The PSI is produced by ISI, leader in producing proven information retrieval and dissemination services.

14 SAVINGS If you’re already a subscriber to the Science Citation Index,® you can save an extra $550. The price of the PSI to SCI® subscribers is a low $700.
