Databases
Databases are a good a place to begin research. They may contain articles
in journals, papers in conference proceedings, newspapers, chapters in
books, reports and reviews.
Engineering Village 2
(EV 2)
Engineering Village 2 (EV2) is the most comprehensive interdisciplinary Engineering database.
Databases available are, Chimica, Chemical Business NewsBase (CBNB), Compendex, Inspec, National Technical Information Service (NTIS), etc.
It has over 16 million records, some of which have links to full text. EV2 covers journals, conference proceedings, unclassified government reports, and more.
PubMed
PubMed is a free resource that lets you search millions of journal citations and abstracts in the fields of medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, the health care system,
and preclinical sciences. PubMed provides links to full text articles and other related resources and includes access to MEDLINE and to citations for selected articles in life science journals
not included in MEDLINE. MEDLINE covers biomedicine and health, biology, environmental science, marine biology, plant and animal science, behavioral sciences, chemical sciences,
biophysics and bioengineering. SciFinder Scholar (SFS)
SciFinder Scholar (SFS) is a research discovery tool that allows students and faculty to access journal articles, books, theses, conference proceedings and patent documents
in many scientific disciplines, including biomedical sciences, chemistry, engineering, materials science, agricultural science, and more from 1907 to the present.
It provides search interface for access to Chemical Abstracts online. Chemical Abstracts covers the published scientific research in chemistry,
and offers searching by author name, research topic, substance identifier, chemical structure, or chemical reaction. Now includes the Substructure Module (SSM).
It also provides full-text documents and links to electronic patent documents from the USPTO, esp@cenet, and MicroPatent®
Library’s take: SciFinder Scholar includes the abstracts for articles in more than 10,000 journals, chiefly in chemistry. It is useful for materials research and for energy research.
Coverage goes back to the beginning of the 20th century. (1 seat limit)
Science Citation Index Expanded (via Web of Science)
Science Citation Index Expanded (1980-current) is a multi- disciplinary index to more than 8500 of the most prestigious and high impact scientific journals.
Librarian's take: This database's unique features include: citation index, analytical tools in evaluating and ranking journals, related records search capability,
and links to full-text journals subscribed by NUS Libraries.
Scopus
Has 37 million records from over 16000 journals, including trade journals. Covers life sciences, physical sciences, health sciences, social sciences and business.
Indexes journals, conference proceedings, and quality web sources. Some records have links to full text. It does citation tracking.
A researcher can find out how many times a particular article has been cited.
