[Piyali Das]

INSPEC is a indexing database of scientific and technical literature, published by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). INSPEC was started in 1967 as an Science Abstracts service. INSPEC provides comprehensive coverage of traditional and cutting-edge publications in the specific fields of physics, electrical and electronic engineering, communications, computer science, control engineering, information technology, manufacturing and mechanical engineering.
In addition there is significant coverage of areas such as operations research, material science, oceanography, engineering mathematics, nuclear engineering, environmental science, geophysics, nanotechnology, biomedical technology and biophysics. The Inspec database is the world's largest and most comprehensive English-language bibliographic database, in physics, electronics and computing.

[Vishal]

INSPEC is a major indexing database of scientific and technical literature, published by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), and formerly by the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE), one of the IET's forerunners.
INSPEC coverage is extensive in the fields of physics and computer, control, and mechanical engineering. Its coverage in applied mathematics includes many practically oriented mathematical articles that are excluded from MathSciNet and Zentralblatt MATH, which limit themselves to mathematics and some of computer science.
INSPEC was started in 1967 as an outgrowth of the Science Abstracts service. The electronic records were distributed on magnetic tape. In the 1980s, it was available in the U.S. through the Knowledge Index, a low-priced dial-up version of the Dialog service for individual users, which made it popular.
Access to INSPEC is currently by the Internet through various resellers. Because INSPEC is not as expensive as some other online databases such as Web of Science, it has become a standard online resource at universities and libraries.
INSPEC Direct is a web-based portal for the INSPEC Database, available directly from the Institution of Engineering and Technology.
