Educational Institutions love FSTA®.
With the interdisciplinary nature of FSTA® it is indispensable for a wider range of subjects in food science than other non-specialist databases. Using FSTA® as an undergraduate or masters student helps get better grades. It solves the problem of poor citations leading to poorer marks.
FSTA also makes connections through related concepts and opens up new avenues for researchers. Faculty members discover new ideas, and these are quite often from historical literature or from areas that other databases do not cover.
Whatever research you do, you need to make sure you are not citing fake science. The science needs to be safe because a reputation is hard-won but easily damaged.
Companies use FSTA® for their research and development needs.
FSTA is used by 7 of the world’s top 10 food and non-alcoholic beverage manufacturers.
That's because access to peer-reviewed research is critical for scientists who need to stay up to date with innovations and new solutions.
FSTA provides a wealth of information on previously published research, helping save time and money by not having to conduct experiments or research that has already been done.
Historic and new research can both inspire new ideas and directions for future research.
When you have specific research needs you can request bespoke collections. These are specific datasets that are core areas of research. This highly-focused research is used by start-ups and mid-range companies.
Data Analytics can discover areas for product innovation...
Companies looking for new product development or that want to keep up to date on patents can gain insight via FSTA® Data Services. Our team of experts can prepare bespoke reports based on the information we have in our database. These reports can give you insights that are based on real data, that are up to date, and are factual.
FSTA is updated weekly, with more than 2000 entries being added. When you want to know something that is happening in the food science world, get in touch with your questions to see if we can provide the answers.
Another area is the licensing of our unique 16,000 FSTA® thesaurus. Clients use this for classifying their intellectual property across multiple sites.
Government and Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) and Associations also use FSTA®
Over 500 institutions use FSTA®
As a non-for-profit we are committed to improving knowledge of the sciences of food and health across the world, with free or low-cost access to FSTA® and resources available through the Research4Life programs – HINARI, AGORA, ARDI & OARE. Read more about our work with these organisations here.
FSTA is also used by a wide variety of agencies and Government bodies.
Our three Advisory Boards comprised of academic, corporate and information specialists are all highly-qualified. This global team advise on the coverage in FSTA® (which becomes more challenging as research becomes more interdisciplinary).
They also advise on the content in FSTA® (which formats and titles to include).
Additionally, they help to develop best practice in literature searching and reviews.
