Institute for Scientific Information, 1997. An important component of scientific research is the rapid retrieval of current information. This database provides a comprehensive review and retrieval of the literature of organic chemistry from more than 100 international journals. A purchaser of this database receives quarterly updates so that a current review of the literature is always available.
Data are searchable by structure, text, keyword, or author.
The menu-driven search options allow for specificity in any search. A tool is provided so that structures can be drawn and then a search of the literature made for that structure. Structures can be searched as either reactant or product. Thus, the database can serve also as a reaction database, and is searchable by reaction type. The text and reaction structure searches can be combined via Boolean operators.
