Embase, the Excerpta Medica database, is an international biomedical and pharmacological database that provides access to bibliographic information about medical and drug-related subjects. Often referred to as the "European MEDLINE," Embase includes over 7,000 journals from around the world. It offers particularly strong coverage of drugs. Overlap between MEDLINE and Embase is estimated to be about 60% at the journal level, meaning that Embase offers about 40% unique materials that cannot be found in MEDLINE.
