Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), the world's authority for chemical information, and the Czech Consortium, a regional consortium of schools outside Prague, jointly announced their collaboration to provide SciFinder to member universities.
SciFinder is the proprietary search and analysis tool that accesses CAS databases, which claims to be the largest, most complete collection of disclosed chemistry and related scientific research, including more than 73 million chemical substances and nearly 70 million reactions from patents, journals, web publications and other reputable sources. The top 100 academic chemistry programs around the world rely on SciFinder.
The five-year agreement provides SciFinder to the University of Pardubice, representing the Czech SciFinder Consortium for themselves, and on behalf of Masaryk University Brno, Palacky University Olomouc, Tomas Bata University in Zlin, Technical University in Brno, Technical University of Ostrava, University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences Brno, University of Jan Evangelista Purkyne in Usti nad Labem.
SciFinder is the preferred source of chemical information for scientists around the globe. With unlimited access, SciFinder is available to researchers in chemistry departments, as well as those in other science departments throughout a university, including biochemistry, biology and related biosciences, pharmacy and pharmacology, forensics, physics, medical and dental, biomedical engineering and material science.
