Literature Database

New Download Feature

A new feature has been added that lets you download all citations from a volume, chapter, or search result in one go. When you click on a chapter in the volume-chapter list, you'll now have the option to download all citations. You can also enter a search term in the search box and then save the entire results list.

The CCCA literature database currently contains more than 3,500 literature citations from over 8,000 authors. The CCCA team is currently working on integrating the startclim literature database and is preparing to include additional literature.

Core Concept and Structure of the Literature Database

The Austrian Assessment Report on Climate Change 2014 (AAR14) drew not only on internationally published specialist journal articles but also to a greater extent on grey literature — provided, as with the IPCC, that it was publicly accessible. This approach was deemed necessary to a greater degree at the national level, as studies on local and regional issues are often published in non-peer-reviewed journals, yet can still make a significant contribution to the state of knowledge on climate change in Austria.

As a by-product of the AAR14, what emerged was not only a literature database containing all literature citations from the report, but also a collection of grey literature made accessible through the Climate Change Centre Austria (CCCA) and continuing to be maintained there.
