The Royal Society of Chemistry has completed the acquisition of MarinLit, a database of marine natural products literature. In addition to bibliographic data, the database contains an extensive collection of keywords, trivial names, compound information including structures, formulae, molecular mass, numbers of various functional groups, and UV data. The announcement was made by David James, Executive Director of Strategic Innovation at the Royal Society of Chemistry.
The combination of the Royal Society of Chemistry's natural product content, such as the high impact journal Natural Product Reports, with MarinLit data will further advance the Royal Society of Chemistry's mission to become the world's leading chemistry community, helping the world's researchers access the best chemical information and share the best ideas.
MarinLit addresses a rising challenge for MNP researchers; where is the best place to start your research search? The unique element of MarinLit is that in addition to the usual bibliographic data, the database contains an extensive collection of keywords, trivial names and compound information. All of these terms can be searched for either individually or in various combinations. This provides researchers with the ultimate destination to start their search for any marine natural product research.
