Interestingly according to the electronic version of Ulrich's,
Advance for Nurses Practitioners is only indexed in International
Nursing Index which has ceased.
Which brings us back to last week's question of how you find out
where a journal is indexed. Ulrich's is always my first stop but
it's only as reliable as the data it receives from journal
publishers. If suspicious, I tend to try and check journal webpages
or preferably hard copy journal issues.
The issue of where journals are indexed can be crucial in deciding
which databases to search but isn't always easy to resolve.
