Journal Databases

Use Find It to locate an electronic journal (includes journals cataloged in MadCat, plus many more) and/or an article if you have the citation. See Chemistry Journals for more information.

ANALYTICAL ABSTRACTS 1980 - to date. (updated quarterly from SilverPlatter/WebSPIRS)
Indexes 1,300 international journals each year, in addition to books, conference proceedings, standarts, and technical reports in more than 20 languages. Covers analysis, biochemistry, chemical, energy, industry, pharmaceuticals, sicence and tehcnology. All citations include abstracts.

BEILSTEIN/GMELIN 1800 - date. (updated quarterly from Beilstein)
Beilstein covers preparations and properties of organic compounds and is searchable in multiple ways (structure, reaction, properties, chemical name, name segment, registry number). Gmelin covers preparations, properties and reactions of inorganic and organometallic coumpounds and is searchable in multiple ways. To launch Beilstein/Gmelin from a campus library workstation, click HERE. The client may be installed on local workstations for access outside campus libraries. See Remote Access and Client Distribution for more information about local installation. For search help, see Beilstein and Gmelin Help

SCIFINDER SCHOLAR
SciFinder Scholar is a client-server program used to access information in selected Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) databases: CAPlus, CARegistry, CAREACTS, CHEMCATS, and CHEMLISTS. It permits searching in a variety of ways: author name, research topic, substance identifier (CAS Registry Number, chemical name), chemical structure/substructure, or chemical reaction. is fully accessible in all UW-Madison Libraries. Click HERE to launch SciFinder Scholar on a campus library computer (not on a DoIT Info Lab computer located inside a campus library).The client may be installed on local workstations for access outside campus libraries. See Remote Access and Client Distribution for more information about local installation. For search help, see SciFinder Scholar Help

WEB OF KNOWLEDGE
Combines three databases: Science Citation Index Expanded (1970-), Social Sciences Citation Index (1981-), and Arts & Humanities Citation Index (1980-). These databases are searchable independently or in any combination. It indexes more than 8,000 peer-reviewed journals, including articles, reviews, letters, notes, corrections, and editorials. Cited author searching is available.
