ARC Offers Robust Research Capabilities And Streamlined Functionality
The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) is making its Aerospace Research Central (ARC) electronic database available to users. The site was produced in partnership with Atypon, an established provider of software to the scientific and scholarly publishing industry.
ARC offers easy and robust access to over four decades of aerospace research. The platform’s sophisticated functionality gives users powerful search capabilities through all of AIAA’s books, conference proceedings, and journal articles; offers streamlined research capabilities, including the ability to download citations and bundle content based on topic disciplines; and gives users early access to e-first publications ahead of the printed versions. Users will also be able to tailor the platform’s functionality to seek out those results that are most relevant to their personal interests, greatly streamlining the research process.
“With ARC, we will now be able to access, anytime and anywhere, more than 75 years of aerospace materials from the AIAA Electronic Library and the AIAA eBook Library,” said Vigor Yang, vice-president of publications for AIAA. Yang continued: “Such service will move us in the direction we all want to go – towards easier, dependable access of knowledge important to our field.”
“We’re proud to have collaborated with AIAA to create such a great content experience for contributors, readers, and librarians," said Audrey Melkin, Atypon’s Director of Business Development. "Being able to seamlessly navigate all of AIAA’s content types has resulted in a greatly improved resource for the entire aerospace sector.”
