This index provides access to Latin American journal article citations and is
actually two Spanish-language indexes joined together in one service. The CLASE
database indexes over 1200 Latin American journals in the social sciences and
the humanities, while the PERIODICA database indexes over 1400 Latin American
science and technology journals. Both indexes are produced by the renowned
Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM). Most indexed articles are in
either Spanish or Portuguese, with some English-language articles also included.
Mexican and Brazilian research journals are by far the focus of both indexes,
but important journals from all over Latin America are also indexed. CLASE
includes subjects such as anthropology, the arts, economics, management and
accounting, education, political science, psychology, religion, sociology,
history, linguistics, literature, and philosophy, while PERIODICA covers
subjects such as agricultural sciences, biology, chemistry, engineering,
geosciences, physics, and medicine. Updated quarterly; CLASE coverage is
1975-present, and PERIODICA coverage is 1978-present.
