Chemistry and Biochemistry

Web of Science (formerly Web of Knowledge) is a cross-searchable interface for numerous Thompson Reuters databases including: Web of Science Core Collection, BIOSIS Citation Index, BIOSIS Previews, Derwent Innovations Index, and Journal Citation Reports.

Scopus is a citation database of peer-reviewed literature and quality web sources with smart tools to track analyze and visualize research. Tools to sort, refine and quickly identify results help researchers focus on the outcome of their work.

SciFinder, produced by Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), is the most comprehensive database for the chemical literature, searchable by topic, author, substances by name or CAS Registry Number, OR use the editor to draw chemical structures, substructures, or reactions. It's a core research tool for chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, nanotechnology, physics, environmental science and other science and engineering disciplines. Depending on your research, SciFinder is complementary to other databases like Reaxys, Web of Science, PubMed, Compendex and INSPEC.

All OSU users must register through SciFinder Scholar Registration while on campus. Completion of registration requires the use of an OSU e-mail account (osu.edu, ohio-state.edu, or osumc.edu). Register here: https://bit.ly/2O3y2EG

Reaxys is a workflow solution for accessing the combined wealth of trustworthy, experimental substance and reaction data and bibliographic data housed in the Beilstein, Gmelin and Patent Chemistry Databases.

Comprehensive index to over 5,200 journal titles and extensive non-journal coverage, including more than 90 abstract meetings, books and U.S. patents in biological and life sciences.

PubMed, a service of the National Library of Medicine, provides access to over 15 million MEDLINE citations back to the mid-1950's and additional life science journals. PubMed includes links to many sites providing full text articles and other related resources.

A database of around 50,000 reactions and around 3250 of the most frequently consulted reagents and is fully searchable by structure and substructure, reagent, reaction type, experimental conditions etc.

Organic Reactions® is a comprehensive reference work that contains authoritative, critical reviews of many important synthetic reactions. In addition to detailed discussions of the mechanism, scope, and limitations of reactions, OR chapters contain a tabular survey of all known examples of organic reactions to date. Exhaustive synthesis and analysis of primary literature examples sets Organic Reactions apart from comparable secondary references for organic chemistry. Here, you will find condensed versions of Organic Reactions chapters and links to full versions of the chapters.

SpringerMaterials is based on the Landolt-Börnstein New Series, the unique, fully evaluated data collection in all areas of physical sciences and engineering. SpringerMaterials also comprises the Dortmund Data Bank Software & Separation Technology, a Database on Thermophysical Properties and the Linus Pauling Files, a Database on Inorganic Solid Phases and chemical safety data.

Collection of papers on optics and photonics from SPIE. Allows for access to more than 200,000 technical papers from SPIE journals and conference proceedings.

With over 31 million indexed records and more than 8,500 indexed peer-reviewed journals, Embase is a highly versatile, multipurpose and up-to-date database covering the most important international biomedical literature from 1947 to the present day. All articles are indexed in depth using the Elsevier Life Science thesaurus Emtree®.

The Inorganic Crystal Structure Database ( ICSD ) contains the world's largest database for completely determined inorganic crystal structures. ICSD is produced by FIZ Karlsruhe and currently comprises about 185,000 crystal structures. Twice a year, in the spring and autumn, updates are published with up-to-date data extracted from relevant journals and other sources.
