How to search databases

SciFinder Scholar

SciFinder ScholarTM retrieves information contained in databases produced by Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) as well as the MEDLINE® database of the National Library of Medicine (NLM).

The CAS databases are:

• The daily updated CAS REGISTRY SM , the original source and final authority for CAS Registry Numbers (CASRNs or CAS Numbers).
  
  
• The daily updated CAplus SM that index books, conferences, patents, journal, etc on a wide range of science subjects including physical sciences such as chemistry, physics; life sciences and engineering, where on an average of 3,000 records added each day.
  
  
• the full bibliographic information and abstracts for all articles in more than 1,500 core journals are added to CAplus within 7 days.
  
  
• all patent records, meeting CAS selection criteria, from 9 of the major patent offices are made available online in CAplus within 2 days of the patents' issuance, and fully indexed by CAS scientists in less than 27 days from the date of issue

Only when your conference articles, patents, etc are cited in works published in and indexed in CAPlus then you might be able to locate the citing references to these works.

You may want to use ISI Web of Science to find citing references that are journal articles and this database for non-journal articles.

Here is an example on how to search for citing references for a journal article:.
"Polyaniline: a polymer with many interesting intrinsic redox states". Kang, E. T.; Neoh, K. G.; Tan, K. L. Progress in Polymer Science (1998), 23(2), 277-324.

At New task click on , then for a bibliographic information search.

Complete the form based on the citation you have and click on OK.

Select the result that match your article, click on "Get Related".

At the next window, click on "Citing References"

Next would be a list of references that have cited the journal article in the example.

You may further analyse these records to examine what type of publications have cited your work. Click on "Analyze or Refine", then on "Analyze", and select "Document Type" and click "OK"

The results list will be represented in a histogram based on document type. The total number may be more than the total result as a "General Review" and "Conference" documents may be published in a "Journal"
