Elsevier/North-Holland offers two services on the Internet for economists as an adjunct to their paper publishing. The first, "Contents Alert Economics," is a mailing list concerning forthcoming articles in all 32 of their economic and finance journals. For each forthcoming article, it has the full title, authors, authors' affiliation, key words and JEL codes when available, volume/issue/page numbers, the dates for receipt and acceptance of the forthcoming article, and the publication date of the issue. Contents Alert Economics comes out at approximately weekly intervals. Subscription information is below.
The second service, ECONbase, is a searchable database that allows you to search for current information on articles in the 32 Elsevier/North-Holland journals. It contains information on articles published after January 1, 1994, and each year some 2,000 articles are added. For each article, ECONbase provides the same information as "Contents Alert Economics." All can freely access the table of contents, while other information is available only in the Subscriber Section, which has controlled access.
Free access to the Subscriber Section is available to academics (i) who have a personal subscription to a North-Holland economics journal, (ii) who have a member subscription to one of the journals in ECONbase, (iii) whose institution has a subscription to three of the journals covered by ECONbase, or (iv) who are an editor or editorial board member of one of North-Holland's economics journals. If you meet one of these qualifications, you may subscribe by entering the section titled "Getting Access to the Subscriber Section," which is available on both their web and gopher servers (on the web server, it is one of the items on the main page, (near the bottom) and on the gopher server, it is after the "Miscellaneous" entry). Erik Van Aert kindly supplied this information.
