AGRIS Search engine

The AGRIS search application provides access to a large collection of world literature covering all aspects of agricultural sciences and technology, including grey literature which is not available through normal publication and distribution channels.

The AGRIS repository is continuously updated and currently contains over 4 million bibliographic references in the AGRIS AP XML format, from 1975 to date. This data is collected from AGRIS resource centres in over 100 countries worldwide.

This section provides detailed instructions on how the service can be interoperated, e.g. the URLs, the parameters, the output format etc.

Instructions for getting information from this service: 

This application provides a simple search box into which a user can type a query to search the entire repository. A "Search Assistant" allows for more sophisticated searches. The search results provide metadata (title, author, abstract, publisher, etc.) of bibliographic references and, where available, a link to the full-text document. Additionally, a Google search for the full text document of a bibliographic record can be executed.

Instructions for inputting information in this service: 

The bibliographic records that are searcheable through the AGRIS search engine come from several research centers that send their records in XML files compliant with the AGRIS Application Profile.

Any research center / institution / organization can contribute their records, if relevant to the field of agriculture.

Centers that want to send their records for the first time only need to request a code and then send a first batch of records as Agris AP XML.

Contact address: fao-agris-caris@fao.org  

Example(s): 

http://www.fao.org/agris/search/search.do?query=%2Bsubject%3Afarmers will display a list of bibliographical records indexed with the Agrovoc keyword "farmers" as the subject
