Selected Current Aerospace Notices
Introduction
Selected Current Aerospace Notices (SCAN) is a weekly electronic current awareness journal that announces recently issued report and journal literature from the NASA scientific and technical information knowledge base. SCAN covers the full spectrum of aeronautics and aerospace-related information and segments it into subject groupings, or topics, which are narrower in scope than the 76 categories provided by Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports (STAR). Furthermore, SCAN announces documents simultaneously in all relevant topics. Document citations announced in STAR are presented in only the one subject category deemed most appropriate.
Each of the 186 SCAN topics is carefully tailored to fit the needs of a specialized research activity. New topics are added as the need arises, and others are retired or redefined as research demands dictate.
SCAN Access Methods
Updated weekly, SCAN is a free announcement service listing the latest aerospace-related scientific and technical information from around the world that has been entered into the NASA scientific and technical information knowledge base.
