Chemistry and Biochemistry: Articles

"The Publications Division of the American Chemical Society provides the worldwide scientific community with a comprehensive collection of the most cited peer-reviewed journals in the chemical and related sciences. In addition to 34 research journals, the society also publishes the premier weekly newsmagazine of the chemical enterprise, Chemical & Engineering News. With the ACS Journal Archives, ACS Publications provides searchable access to over 130 years of original research in chemistry, including more than 750,000 articles dating back to the inaugural volume of the Journal of the American Chemical Society in 1879." -- ACS

"CAS Analytical Methods makes it simple to locate, compare, and understand analytical methods published in top journals. CAS Analytical Methods addresses the challenges that analytical scientists face such as time pressure, lack of process, lack of method details in literature and limited resources. With this solution it is easy to browse and find methods that may have not existed in or are buried in primary literature." -- CAS

CAS Analytical Methods is part of the CAS SciFinder Discovery Platform. If you do not already have a SciFindern account, you will need to create one here. The account is free.

"The CAS Formulations collection is indexed by a team of scientists from a variety of patent and journal literature sources, as well as product insert databases. Literature originally published in Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, and Korean is curated and made searchable. Formulation results are grouped by “similarity” to reduce the number of results within an answer set. Similarity is determined by attributes such as intended use of the product, specific features of the product, and/or the physical form of the product. CAS curates formulations from journals, patents, and product inserts in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and cosmetics and personal care industries." -- CAS

"Accelerate game-changing discoveries with best-in-class solutions that simplify how you find and connect critical information, such as scientific data, methods, formulations, and more—human-curated for quality and completeness. Powering the CAS SciFinder Discovery Platform is a team of hundreds of scientific experts that read every article and patent in the CAS Content Collection and extract the critical information scientists care about. Through their work, we ensure that your search for a specific concept, method, formulation, or molecule returns the most relevant references for your needs. But more than a relevance search engine, the interface is carefully designed to enable you to make novel connections between disparate pieces of information, driving insight and speeding innovation." -- CAS

The CAS SciFinder Discovery Platform incorporates the following resources:

• CAS SciFindern and ChemZent
• CAS Analytical Methods
• CAS Formulus

The CAS SciFinder Discovery Platform requires that you have a personal SciFinder account. If you don't already have one, create one here. The account is free.

ChemZent is the first English version of the world's oldest chemical journal, Chemisches Zentralblatt and includes 800,000 documents and 3 million abstracts published between 1830 and 1969. It is integrated with SciFindern.

"Scopus covers more than 24,000 peer-reviewed journals in science, technology, medicine and social sciences from over 5,000 international publishers." Scopus includes "coverage of: Open Access journals, Conference Proceedings, Trade Publications and Book Series." -- Elsevier

"Academic Search Complete is the world's most valuable and comprehensive scholarly, multi-disciplinary full-text database, with more than 5,300 full-text periodicals, including 4,400 peer-reviewed journals. In addition to full text, this database offers indexing and abstracts for more than 9,300 journals and a total of 9,810 publications including monographs, reports, conference proceedings, etc." -- EBSCO

The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics provides you with quick access to authoritative information relating to terminology, symbols, constants, properties and other data for elements, compounds, fluids, solids, gases, metals and more.

"The Digital Library (DL) provides searchable online access to the various journals, books, and other collections published by The Electrochemical Society. . . . The Electrochemical Society (ECS) is an 8,000-member organization of scientists and engineers in over 70 countries worldwide. The Society has a long tradition in advancing the theory and practice of electrochemical and solid state science by dissemination of information through its publications and international meetings." -- ECS website

"The Life Sciences Collection is JSTOR's largest collection, with over 5.5 million pages available today and scheduled to grow to more than seven million. At its completion, it will comprise a minimum of 160 titles spanning disciplines in the biological, health, and general sciences." -- JSTOR

Written by prominent scholars from industry, academia, and research institutions, the Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology presents a wide scope of articles on chemical substances—including their properties, manufacturing, and uses. It also focuses on industrial processes and unit operations in chemical engineering, as well as covering fundamentals and scientific subjects related to the field. Additionally, environmental and health issues concerning chemical technology are also addressed.

"PubMed Central is a free digital archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), developed and managed by NIH's National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in the National Library of Medicine (NLM). With PubMed Central, NLM has taken the lead in preserving and maintaining access to the electronic literature, just as it has done for decades with the printed biomedical literature. PubMed Central aims to fill the role of a world class library in the digital age. It is not a journal publisher. NLM believes that giving all users free access to the material in PubMed Central is the best way to ensure the durability and utility of the archive as technology changes over time." -- NLM
