Serial cited list 

Follow this link for a list of serial titles that appear in Environmental Impact. All serials scanned for CAB Abstracts and Global Health (the main CABI databases) are also scanned for Environmental Impact. This gives Environmental Impact a significant advantage over other environmental databases, meaning we can include material which is often not included in other environmental databases, e.g. papers on climate change effects on human health published in health journals or climate impacts on tourism published in tourism literature, etc.

CAB International

CABI is a not-for-profit science-based development and information organization. We improve people’s lives by providing information and applying scientific expertise to solve problems in agriculture, veterinary medicine, human health and the environment.

CABI helps address the challenges of food security by helping farmers produce more and lose less. We do this by improving crop yields, safeguarding the environment and improving access to agricultural and environmental scientific knowledge.

Our mission and direction is influenced by member countries who help guide the activities undertaken. These include scientific publishing, development projects and research, and microbial services.
