Print Indexes

Vitis: Viticulture and Enology Abstracts (1984-2002)

Vitis was issued quarterly until 2002, with each issue containing citations to over one hundred articles, covering both viticulture and enology subject areas. Each of the citations is abstracted and is arranged within 12 general subject groups. The subject groups are listed on the back cover of each issue. The last issue of the year contains a cumulative author and subject index. The annual subject index utilizes over three hundred primary subject terms and includes geographic terms i.e. country names. The annual index refers back to the citation and abstract in the section, issue and volume in which it first appeared.
