Scifinder now includes predicted as well as experimental data, giving you access to a huge range of data and spectra.

To date there are 3.7 billion predicted values (for 56.2 million substances) and 4.5 million experimental values (for 3.0 million substances) in the database.

For spectra there are over 100 million predicted spectra and 1.1 million experimental spectra.

EndNote is a sophisticated referencing desktop application. EndNote workshops will be held in the Dorothy Hill Engineering & Sciences Library (Hawken Building 50) on:

In Scopus, each author is assigned a unique number, the Scopus Author Identifier that allows publications by the same author to be grouped together. However, being a mere computer algorithm, sometimes not all your publications will be listed under the one unique author profile. To fix this you can request Scopus to merge all your publications into the one author profile.
