With IFIS databases, you get comprehensive, high-quality results—without the noise.
Whether you are working on an assignment, a grant proposal, or a product reformulation, you need to know you are basing your work on sound science and that you haven't missed something important. It's important to use databases designed for the task of information discovery - not just the easiest one to access.
Ours are the only databases designed for discovering food information, making them the ideal search tool for food-related research:
This all helps you search efficiently and effectively, saving you time and minimising the risk of citing unreliable studies or duplicating existing research. This can negatively affect the quality of your literature review and, depending on what you're working on, could be an expensive mistake.
Used in organisations all over the world to search across disciplines, publishers, languages, types of information, and over 50 years of research.
FSTA is as interdisciplinary as food research, covering agriculture, biotechnology, brewing and distilling, chemistry, food safety, food science (of course), metabolomics, microbiology, nutrition, pet foods, public health, sport science, oenology, and lots more.
It’s impossible without the science that gives you insight into practical solutions. That’s where the Ovid NutriHealth database provides the answers.
This new database from Wolters Kluwer and IFIS Publishing uncovers relevant information that wouldn’t necessarily have turned up in your search of medical databases because data is drawn from a distinct set of source materials focused on the science of food
