What type of service provides bibliographic information about articles?

Abstract services are designed specifically to provide bibliographic information about articles, summarizing the content and context of research works. They help researchers by offering abstracts, which are brief summaries of academic articles, along with bibliographic citations that include details such as the title, author(s), journal name, volume, and page numbers. This allows users to quickly assess the relevance of an article to their research without having to read the entire publication.

In contrast, citation managers primarily focus on organizing and managing references and citations for research projects but do not typically provide abstracts or bibliographic information about articles themselves. Department libraries and research databases may offer comprehensive resources, including access to articles and various other research tools, but it is the abstract services that are specifically dedicated to summarizing articles and providing pertinent bibliographic details.
