More on Intute

The 8 subject hubs of the RDN no longer exist as separate entities; instead Intute runs from one database (hosted at MIMAS) and provides one interface, which will be deemed much easier for users.

INTUTE consists of 4 thematic subject areas:

• Arts & Humanities (comprises Humbal and Artifact)
• Health & Life Sciences (comprises BIOME and ALTIS)
• Science, Technology, Engineering & Geography (comprises PSIgate, Gesource and EEVL)
• Social Sciences (comprises SOSIG and ALTIS)
