Arts and Humanities Citation Index

Citation index

Summary

Citation index

The Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI), also known as Arts and Humanities Search, is a citation index, with abstracting and indexing for more than 1,700 arts and humanities academic journals. Part of this database is derived from Current Contents.

Subjects covered are the arts, humanities, language (including linguistics), poetry, music, classical works, history, oriental studies, philosophy, archaeology, architecture, religion, television, theater, and radio.

Coverage includes articles, letters, editorials, meeting abstracts, errata, poems, short stories, plays, music scores, excerpts from books, chronologies, bibliographies and filmographies, as well as citations to reviews of books, films, music, and theatrical performances.

This database can be accessed online through Web of Science. It provides access to current and retrospective bibliographic information and cited references. It also covers individually selected, relevant items from approximately 1,200 titles, mostly arts and humanities journals but with an unspecified number of titles from other disciplines.

As of 2011, the Arts and Humanities Search could be accessed via Dialog, DataStar, and OCLC, with weekly updates and backfiles to 1980.{{Cite web | access-date =2011-07-03 | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20140327052753/http://library.dialog.com/bluesheets/html/bl0439.html | archive-date =2014-03-27 | url-status =dead Description of Arts & Humanities Search. |access-date=2011-07-03 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100609215248/http://www.lib.iastate.edu/collections/db/artshm.html |archive-date=2010-06-09 Description of Web of Science coverage. |access-date=2011-07-03 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110613145859/http://www.lib.iastate.edu/collections/db/websci.html |archive-date=2011-06-13 See the page entitled "Tech Specs" | access-date =2011-07-03}}

Scholar Rainer Enrique Hamel has criticized AHCI for its poor reflection of scientific production in languages other than English.

History

The index was originally developed by the Institute for Scientific Information, which was later acquired by Thomson Scientific. It is now published by Thomson Reuters' IP & Science division.
