Databases containing journal articles on chemistry and related topics
Authoritative information in organic, inorganic and organometallic chemistry. Coverage: 1779 - present
Regarding organic chemistry, Reaxys provides data such as specific bioassay results, logPs, and toxicity values. Use it to find reactions, experimental reaction text and substance-related information. It also indexes prophetic compounds. Reaxys provides deep coverage of structures, properties and citations in inorganic and organometallic chemistry, including phosphors, catalysts and polymers and other substances used in electronics, magnetics, optics and nanoscience. It covers general inorganic compounds, such as nano materials, zeolites, laser materials, coordination and solid-state compounds, glasses and ceramic materials, alloys, doped materials and minerals.
Provides chemical information including physical and chemical properties, reactions, and patents. Coverage: 1907 to present
SciFinder covers a wide spectrum of science-related information, including chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, and related sciences. It includes content curated by scientists, including substances, Markush and reaction information, patents, documents, experimental and predicted properties, and spectra.
Note: Access Access is restricted to faculty, students and staff currently affiliated with the University of Waterloo. Registration must be done on campus or using the VPN, and users must register with a University of Waterloo email address.
Articles and citations in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities. Coverage: Varies
Web of Science is comprised of several databases. The Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI) covers journals in the medical, physical and natural sciences, and engineering fields. The entire database extends back to 1899. The Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) covers journals in the social sciences. The entire database extends back to 1898. The Arts & Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) covers journals in the arts and humanities. It also selectively covers relevant items from science and technical journals. The entire database extends back to 1975.
Peer-reviewed literature from scientific journals, books and conference proceedings, covering the fields of science, technology, medicine, social sciences, and arts and humanities. Coverage: 1966 - present
Provides access to occupational health and safety resources via MSDS, CHEMINFO, FTSS, RTECS, and OSH References. Coverage: current
Includes content from: MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets from manufacturers and suppliers); CHEMINFO (health and safety information on pure chemicals); FTSS (Fiche techniques sur la sécurité des substances); RTECS (Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances); OSH References: OSHLINE, NIOSHTIC, NIOSHTIC-2, HSELINE, CISILO; and Canadian enviroOSH Legislation
