Scope

The Current Contents Search® (CC Search®) database provides access to the tables of contents and bibliographic data from current issues of the world's leading scholarly research journals and books in the sciences, social sciences, and arts and humanities. Cover-to-cover indexing of journal articles, reviews, meeting abstracts, editorials, etc., is provided for more than 7500 international journals covering all disciplines. Complete bibliographic information, including English-language author abstracts (for approximately 85% of articles and reviews in the science editions), author keywords, KeyWords Plus®, and ISSNs are provided.

CCALL includes the following subsets, each of which may be searched individually:

The five science subsets are available in a single edition named CCSE, containing AGRI, CLIN, TECH, LIFE and PHYS. A single edition named CCACL, containing AGRI, CLIN, LIFE is available. All six subsets are available in a single edition named CCALL.

Abstract
     Persistent, semi-volatile organochlorine compounds, including toxic
     industrial pollutants and agricultural pesticides, are found everywhere on
     Earth, including in pristine polar and near-polar locations(1-4). Higher
     than expected occurrences of these compounds in remote regions are the
     result of long-range transport in the atmosphere, precipitation and 'cold
     condensation'-the progressive volatilization in relatively warm locations
     and subsequent condensation in cooler environments(3,4) which leads to
     enhanced concentrations at high latitudes. The upper reaches of high
     mountains are similar to high-latitude regions in that they too are
     characterized by relatively low average temperatures, but the accumulation
     of organochlorine compounds as a function of altitude has not yet been
     documented. Here we report organochlorine deposition in snow from mountain
     ranges in western Canada that show a 10- to 100-fold increase between 770
     and 3,100 m altitude. In the case of less-volatile compounds, the observed
     increase by a factor of 10 is simply due to a 10-fold increase in snowfall
     over the altitude range of the sampling sites. Tn the case of the
     more-volatile organochlorines, cold-condensation effects further enhance
     the concentration of these compounds with increasing altitude. These
     findings demonstrate that temperate-zone mountain regions, which tend to
     receive high levels of precipitation while being close to pollutant
     sources, are particularly susceptible to the accumulation of semivolatile
     organochlorine compounds. [References: 22]

Saving Documents in Request-A-Print format

A Request-A-Print order is a request for an article reprint, addressed to the reprint author. Reference Update and Current Contents customers may save documents in the "Request-A-Print" output format and then print the saved file on Thomson Scientific's Request-A-Print form.

Thomson Scientific's Request-A-Print forms are designed to make it easy to request reprints of articles, allowing you to easily create an article reprint request containing the article title, source, author's address, and your name and address.

Request-A-Print is only available in the Ovid interface; it is not available for the web interface.

How to save Ovid documents in Request-A-Print format

Request-A-Print format is an Ovid Output Format which may be designated in the Save Documents box. You may save documents either from a set on the Main Search Screen, or from the Document Display screen.
  1. - Invoke the Save option and select "Save Documents." The Save Documents dialog box will be displayed.
  2. - Select the "Options" feature in the dialog box.
  3. - From the displayed list of formatting options, choose "Output Format."
  4. - In the Output Format box, select Request-A-Print and press Enter. You will be returned to the Save Documents dialog.
  5. - Name your file and select OK. Your documents will be saved with the default file extension *.DAT.
The saved DAT file may now be printed using the Thomson Scientific PrintRAP utility on the special Thomson Scientific Request-A-Print forms.

Output Format - Default Setting

Ovid offers three output formats for saved documents: Ovid format, Reprint format and Request-A-Print format. The default for Saved Documents is Ovid Format.

If you wish all documents to be saved by default in Request-A-Print format, you may change the default Output Format using the Ovid Configuration Editor. To invoke the editor, choose "Default Settings" (Standalone users must select "Global Default Settings") from the Options/menu on the Main Search Page. Select Reference Update or Current Contents (depending on which database you are searching) from the list of databases. From the nested screens select Database Print/Save Options..., then select Output Format. Select "Request-A-Print" and press .

The Thomson Scientific PrintRAP Utility

The Thomson Scientific PrintRap utility executable file, printrap.exe, is located in the directory in which you installed Ovid on your computer [the default directory is \ovid]. If you are running a networked version of Ovid, you may not have access to this directory. Contact your System Administrator for more information about access to this file.
