Communication & Mass Media Index (CMMI)

As of 2004, Comm Search is now Communication & Mass Media Index (CMMI). CMMI incorporates CommSearch (formerly produced by NCA) and Mass Media Articles Index (formerly produced by Penn State) along with numerous other journals to create a research and reference resource in the communication and mass media fields. 

CMMI offers cover-to-cover (“core”) indexing and abstracts for over 300 journals, and selected (“priority”) coverage of over 100 more, for a combined coverage of over 400 titles.  Many major journals have indexing, abstracts, and searchable citations from their first issues to the present (dating as far back as 1915). CMMI contains a sophisticated controlled vocabulary and comprehensive reference browsing (i.e. searchable citations for all peer-reviewed journals covered as “core”).  To further develop and enhance this database, EBSCO has established two working groups of expert advisors represented by leading librarians, bibliographers, and professionals in the areas of communication and mass media.
