Both EMBASE and MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online) which is a renowned bibliographic database of life sciences and biomedical information covering the fields of medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, the health care system, and the preclinical sciences are major medical databases that provide a wide coverage of medical literature for medical specialists and researchers.
.
While MEDLINE is more commonly used in North America, EMBASE is typically used by physicians in Europe.
.
Wilkins, Gillies, & Davies (2005) in their study discuss that although MEDLINE and EMBASE are similar, their coverage of the published literature differs, hence believe that using two or more databases (eg, MEDLINE or EMBASE) yields a greater percentage of covering the available citations.
.
Medical Journals indexed in EMBASE are of a good quality, which brings considerable value to the authors’ and their academic works poublished in such jorunals. You can find a complete list of medical journals indexed in EMBASE here.
