Premiere bibliographic and reference research tool for research in chemistry and marine sciences. SciFinder can be searched by research topic, substance identifier, chemical structure, chemical reaction, and/or author's name.

SciFinder is the proprietary online version of Chemical Abstracts, and includes 16 million abstracts of journal articles and patents extending back to 1907, and 22 million substance and 33 million sequence records of the CAS Registry.

An interface for searching six integrated bibliographic, substance, and reaction databases, SciFinder can be searched by research topic, substance identifier, chemical structure, chemical reaction, and/or author's name. In addition to chemistry and biochemistry, it includes coverage in the areas of agricultural sciences, biology and life sciences, engineering sciences, food sciences, geological sciences, material sciences, medical sciences, physics, and polymer science.

Marking and Exporting Records

As you go through your results, you may mark those records of interest. To view only those records you have marked, go to Tools and click on Keep References. Be sure to save these records (how?) before starting a new search (task). All results from a previous "task" are lost when you begin a new one.
