STM publisher Springer and chemical information provider Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), a division of the American Chemical Society, will collaborate to include thousands of new experimental procedures for chemical reactions reported in Springer journals in the CAS databases. This collaboration will increase the visibility of articles with experimental procedures published in 165 Springer chemistry journals from 1985 to the present.
The addition of experimental procedures from Springer journal articles provides important information that helps scientists evaluate search results. Using SciFinder The choice for chemistry research, a tool that allows scientists to explore the CAS databases, critical full-text articles which are essential to scientists in their research can be identified quickly.
CAS provides access to more than 62 million single- and multi-step reactions and synthetic preparations, as well as associated experimental procedures for reactions, through SciFinder. The information in CAS is provided by journals from prestigious publishers and patents issued by major patent offices. CAS has long recognised how important global chemical publications are to research, and will continue adding relevant chemistry content throughout 2013.
