CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society, unveiled SciFindern early access to key customers in November. A powerful new workflow solution with humanly-curated content at its foundation, SciFindern delivers immediately actionable results at every step of the research process.
SciFindern claims to be the first research solution to incorporate CAS's latest innovation to help researchers get to the science they need faster than ever. This innovation breaks new ground in the information industry by analysing the user's query against millions of data elements to present the most appropriate answers among document, reaction and substance search results. CAS answer relevancy capabilities have been developed by CAS chemists and technologists who best understand scientific researchers' information needs, as well as the complex content data relationships throughout the realm of CAS's scientific information collection. The culmination of years of controlled studies by these CAS experts of scientists' approaches to information retrieval and desired answers, using leading-edge technologies and algorithm evolution, now ensures the most relevant answers for a question asked to SciFindern are presented first to the scientist for immediate evaluation.
Additionally, SciFindern will provide integrated access to the most extensive collection of content thanks to new, authoritative information added by CAS scientists, and a new approach to processing the data.
The SciFindern interface was designed based on input received during thousands of hours of customer user research and testing. This was critical to ensure the solution will work the way researchers think and act, ensuring it saves valuable research time and effort, which ultimately drives faster, more accurate results.
Pre-release access begins with select researchers from prestigious commercial and academic organisations in North America and will be extended with exclusive rollout globally.
