Databases New STN databases. In conjunction with the opening of an STN service centre in Japan, STN introduced a new English‐language file on the STN network: JICST‐E (JICST File on Science, Technology and Medicine in Japan). The database contains English citations and abstracts and covers the literature published in Japan on all fields of science, technology and medicine. References are drawn from approximately 4,500 journals and other serials as well as conference proceedings and technical reports. The file contains over 400,000 citations from 1985. Updates will increase this number by 16,000 citations each month.
