Journal Articles
For recent information, journal articles are often the best sources. Looking through individual journals in the hope of finding relevant material is time-consuming. It is better to use the databases to find articles on your topic.
CAS databases that contain literature from many scientific disciplines including biomedical sciences, chemistry, engineering, materials science, agricultural science, and more
Research system for accessing the combined experimental substance and reaction data housed in the Beilstein, Gmelin and Patent chemistry databases
Access to current and retrospective multidisciplinary information from high impact research journals. Web of Science also provides a unique search method, cited reference searching.
Multidisciplinary abstract and citation database of research literature and quality web sources
