  1. Part of the Research Process for Universities Around the World

  2. AGENDA • CAS • Why SciFinder • Process Overview • Advantages Of SciFinder Scholar • Questions

  3. Chemical Abstracts & SciFinder • Started as Indexing and Abstracting service in 1907 • Earlier known as Chemical Abstracts (CA) in its print version • An ideal example for Library Science students and professionals to study evolution of CA to current version SciFinder.

  4. Librarian Support • Many Libraries with print CA have taken active role in helping users in searching various indexes of CA and helped them to locate right information quickly. • This support and training still needed for SciFinder

  5. Chemical Abstracts Service Why SciFinder (CA) is different? • CA needs more than 600 scientists with PhDs with specialization in various fields to complete indexing

  6. Why professional indexing is needed? • Try and search uses of below substance in full-text journals. (1,2 diphenyl guanidine)

  7. Why SciFinder? • Content – much more than author abstracts • Indexing with Intellectual analysis publications • Covers Non English journals and patents • Search reactions and substances • Concept based searching • Currency

  8. Why SciFinder? • Content • Indexing with Intellectual analysis publications • Covers Non English journals and patents • Search reactions and substances • Concept based searching • Currency

  9. Databases • CAPLUS (Reference Database) • CAS REGISTRY (Substance Database) • CHEMREACT (Reaction Database) • CHEMCATS (Suppliers Information) • CHEMLIST (Registered substance information) • MEDLINE (biomedical database) Created for Scientists by Scientists

  10. SciFinder Scholar Coverage • > 10,500 Journals • 51 Patent Issuing Authorities • Conference Proceedings • Technical Reports • Book Reviews • Dissertations

  11. SciFinder Content SciFinder Scholar gives you access to • 30million abstracts in CA plus • 17million abstracts in medline • 103 million organic/inorganic substances • 16 million single/multi step reactions • 29 million substances with commercial availability • 1.1 Billion Predicted and experimental properties • IR and NMR and 23 million predicted spectra. • 246,000 regulated chemical inventories.

  12. Why SciFinder? • Content • Indexing with Intellectual analysis publications • Covers Non English journals and patents • Search reactions and substances • Concept based searching • Currency

  13. Indexing Process Overview

  14. Why SciFinder? • Content • Indexing with Intellectual analysis publications • Covers Non English journals and patents • Search reactions and substances • Concept based searching • Currency

  15. All Languages Covered Search and read Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, German, French ….. Journals and patents in English Russia Germany France Japan Canada Brazil Switzerland Austria Holland Spain Turkey Korea

  16. Why SciFinder? • Content • Indexing with Intellectual analysis publications • Covers Non English journals and patents • Search reactions and substances • Concept based searching • Currency

  17. Structure Searching

  18. Why SciFinder? • Content • Indexing with Intellectual analysis publications • Covers Non English journals and patents • Search reactions and substances • Concept based searching • Currency

  19. Concept Based Results SciFinder Scholar adds related technical terms in your search and gives comprehensive results based on concepts. For example, if your key word is “Solar Cell”, you will also get answers where term used is “photovoltaic cells” or “solar battery”

  20. Why SciFinder? • Content • Indexing with Intellectual analysis publications • Covers Non English journals and patents • Search reactions and substances • Concept based searching • Currency

  21. Daily Updated • SciFinder Scholar is updated daily with approximately 3,000 new patent and journal references. • Daily 4000 new substances are added to the databases.
