By using information from printed and online database guides, 18 online bibliographic databases (BD), which cover literature on toxicology were selected from 5 hosts. A search for literature containing information on three selected chemicals was carried out with each of the databases, and the number of documents relevant to toxicology found in them was compared by computer-assisted analysis. Some databases yielded very little information pertinent to toxicology, while others provided a considerable amount. In addition, the databases contained numerous duplicates (references common to more than one database). Most of the relevant documents could be obtained using only 8 of the 18 BDs selected. These databases are: Biosis Previews (BIOSIS), Chemical Abstracts (CA), Chemical Safety Newsbase (CSNB), Excerpta Medica (EMBASE), National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Scisearch, Toxicology Information Online (TOXLINE) and the former Toxicology Literature (TOXLIT).
通过使用印刷版和在线数据库指南中的信息，从5个主机中选择了18个涵盖毒理学文献的在线书目数据库（BD）。使用每个数据库对包含三种选定化学品信息的文献进行搜索，并通过计算机辅助分析比较其中发现的与毒理学相关的文献数量。一些数据库提供的与毒理学相关的信息很少，而其他数据库则提供了大量信息。此外，这些数据库包含大量重复内容（多个数据库共有的参考文献）。仅使用所选的18个BD中的8个就可以获取大多数相关文献。这些数据库是：生物学文摘数据库（BIOSIS）、化学文摘（CA）、化学安全新闻数据库（CSNB）、医学文摘数据库（EMBASE）、美国国家职业安全与健康研究所（NIOSH）、科学搜索数据库、毒理学在线信息数据库（TOXLINE）和以前的毒理学文献数据库（TOXLIT）。
