How do we count

CAplus covers international journals, patents, patent families, technical reports, books, conference proceedings, and dissertations from all areas of chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, and related sciences from 1907 to the present. In addition, over 180,000 records for pre-1907 patent and journal references are available, from sources such as the American Chemical Society (ACS), the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), and Chemisches Zentralblatt. Electronic-only journals and web preprints are also covered. Since October 1994, records for all articles from more than 1,500 key chemical journals are added, including records for document types not covered in Chemical Abstracts (CA): biographical items, book reviews, editorials, errata, letters to the editor, news announcements, product reviews, meeting abstracts, and miscellaneous items.

Cited references are included for journals, conference proceedings, and basic patents from the USPTO, EPO, WIPO, and German patent offices added to the CAS databases from 1997 to the present. Also included are patent examiner citations from British and French basic patents (2003 to the present), Canadian patents (2005 to the present) and Japanese patents (2011 to the present). In addition, nearly 300,000 existing patent records from 1982-2008 have been supplemented with information for cited patents. As of August 2015, CAplus contains over 451 million cited references.

Citing references are included when available.

Legal status information is available for U.S. patents since 1980.

Coverage

  • Early 1800's 
  • Patent (and patent family) references from 63 patent authorities around the world
