Chemical information provider Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), a division of the American Chemical Society, and scientific publisher Taylor & Francis have announced that thousands of new experimental procedures for chemical reactions from three Taylor & Francis journals are now available in SciFinder.
These experimental procedures, vital in a synthetic chemists decision making process, are in addition to those currently available in SciFinder from all ACS publications and English-language patents from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, European Patent Office, and World Intellectual Property Organization (2000 to the present).
The new experimental procedures covered in the CAS databases are from three high-impact Taylor & Francis journals. The journals are: Synthetic Communications, Journal of Coordination Chemistry and Phosphorus, Sulfur, and Silicon and the Related Elements. The utility of experimental procedures to scientists using SciFinder is reflected in the fact that this content is leading researchers directly to more and more of the original full-text publications.
CAS has long recognised the importance of global chemical publications to research and will continue adding relevant content in 2012. In particular, SciFinder will also have experimental procedures from other sources including English-language translations from German and Japanese patents from 2008 to the present and two journals from the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Journal of Organic Chemistry and Acta Chimica Sinica.
