The Nuclear Science References (NSR) database, maintained by the National Nuclear Data Center at Brookhaven, is an indexed bibliography of primary and secondary references in nuclear physics research. Most of the entries include keyword abstracts, which provide a brief summary of the subject matter in the given reference detailing specific nuclides or reactions.
INSPIRE now links to over 100,000 records in the NSR.
“One of the things that makes INSPIRE-HEP an essential tool for the field is that it delivers not only precise search results, but also rich context like links to associated data and references. Connecting to NSR is an important new addition,” said John Beacom, faculty at Ohio State University and Chair of the INSPIRE-HEP Advisory Board.
“Given the power of HEP-Inspire, it is great to see that there are now links to it from more than 100,000 entries in the widely used Nuclear Science References database,” said Tony Thomas, Elder Professor of Physics at the University of Adelaide.
