Peer-Reviewed Journal Articles from CIMMYT and its Collaborators:
A database starting 2003

For a list of journal articles 1966-2002, please go to http://www.cimmyt.org/english/docs/journal/articles.htm

The scope of this database is limited: it covers only journal articles - not conference papers, not book chapters, not newsletters, not CIMMYT imprints. To avoid inconsistencies, we have adopted tight rules of admissibility:

• Only articles resulting from CIMMYT's research program
• Only articles that were subject to independent peer review

Typically, there is an author who is a member of CIMMYT's staff. Often, however, the Center's involvement is represented by a visiting scientist or graduate student who reports work carried out while on assignment at CIMMYT. In a few cases, the whole work has been done by other scientists in other institutions but, if it was partly or wholly financed by CIMMYT, or if it was identified as part of a collaborative project with CIMMYT, then the resulting article is included as a product of the Center's overall program.

Excluded are those articles that were written after the authors joined CIMMYT's staff but to report work carried out in their previous employments (not, therefore, part of CIMMYT's program): the exclusion remains even when 'CIMMYT' is given as the author's affiliation. To balance this, we have tried to find and include those articles describing CIMMYT work that were written after the authors had moved elsewhere, and even when these authors were named with their new affiliations.
Some difficulty arises in the case of conference papers published as articles in journals. Were they or were they not subject to independent peer review? We include them if there is explicit evidence to this effect, such as separate dates for ‘received’ and ‘accepted’. Otherwise we contact the journal’s editor (or guest editor) for an assurance.

To conserve space in the identification of cooperating institutions, the names of countries are reduced to codes recommended by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Those actually employed are:

Each record begins with a header in the form 2003 BELLON, the year of publication and the principal surname of the first author. Searches can be made in the header field entering either a year or a name or both. Truncation involves the asterisk, so 2* in this field will give all articles from the current millennium (starting 2003).

Search terms entered in different fields are interpreted as being linked by the Boolean AND. Within fields &, / and ! give AND, OR and NOT.

The system also provides a ‘Browse’ feature. A click on the adjacent ‘Word Wheel’ presents an alphabetical list of the terms that have been used in that field.
