Availability of Records in All Databases Search

Records become available in the All Databases Search function generally within 24 hours after we load them in a product database. As a result, you may retrieve fewer records (and a smaller Times Cited count) in an All Databases search than in a product database search during this delayed period. If you encounter this discrepancy, we suggest that you return later and run a new All Databases search.
