Repeating the rankings with more specific ‘c o re ’ items based on restriction to terms in the title shows little change.

A com bined search on Toxline and Embase, for the some time period, yields table 2.13.

Restricting the search to more specific items defined by title terms causes little ch a n g e to this ranking.

Note that in this ranking the most significant two journals are published under the auspices of the societies discussed earlier (Behavioural Toxicology

Society/Neurobehavioural and Teratology Society and ttie Teratology Society). The scatter of material across rather diverse publications, and the im portance of conference proceedings are again evident.

In vitro toxicology: Searching for this c o n c e p t on Scisearch, by simply com bining the terms TOXIC? and IN(w) VITRO or INVITRO, gives 247 items published in 1996, 97 or 98. Ranking these by source, down to sources containing 5 items, and by subject co d e gives table 2.14.

The predom inance of two specialist journals, ATLA and Toxicology In Vitro, is notable.

Equivalent rankings were produced from a com bined search on Toxline and Embase, which yielded a total of 1798 items, with the same time period restriction. The ranking of journals, after equivalencing variant forms of journal title, is shown in table 2.15.

Table 2.15 In vitro toxicology Items from Embase/Toxllne searcti, ranked by source, 1996,1997,1998: 1 126 2 108 3 60 4 50 5 49 6 45 7 39 8 37 9 31 10 26 11 26 12 23 13 22 14 22

ATLA, the journal which headed the Scisearch rankings, is not currently covered by either of these databases. Conversely, another specialist journal. In Vitro Toxicology (subtitled Journal of Molecular and Cellular Toxicology), appears here.

In this case, the scatter of the literature across sources is less than in the previous two exannples. Specialist journals head the ranking, while toxicology-specific sources are predom inant.

Mycotoxins: This exam ple of the behavioural toxicology sub-discipline may be contrasted with the study of mycotoxins, m entioned earlier, the literature of which is analysed by Datta (1987). This is an example of a field of study with a com m on focus, contam ination by fungal toxins, which has been studied with the methods of, and reported in the literatures of, a number of disciplines: agriculture, food science, human m edicine, veterinary medicine, chemistry, microbiology, etc. The extent of interest in the topic in the various subject literatures varies over time, as the focus of interest ch an ged from an a ca d e m ic study grounded in agriculture and studied by the methods of chemistry and microbiology, to be regarded later as a veterinary and food science problem. While it is clearly multidisciplinary in nature, there is no

indication that this was ever regarded by those involved in the work as a sub­ discipline in its own right, nor that the sort of intellectual coherence desired by Hdnninen for behavioural toxicology was ever envisaged as necessary.

Searching for this c o n c e p t on SciSeorch, using the terms MYCOTOXIN?,

MYCO(W)TOXIN? And FUNGAL(W)TOXIN?, initially without d a te restriction (i.e. 1990 to date), gives 1138 items. Ranking these by source, down to sources containing 10 items, and by subject co d e gives table 2.16.

In order to assess the change over time in publication patterns, the rankings above, which reflect a long time period, were com pared with those resulting from a

restriction to items published in 1996, 97 or 98 and shown in table 2.18.

For comparison, the search with mycotoxin terms anywhere in the record was re p e a te d on a com bination of Toxline and Embase, for items published in 1996, 97 and 98 an d also for those published in 1986, 87, and 88, and order to see any evident ch a n g e over time. The ranking for 1996-98 is:
