SciFinder Academic is the online premium search engine for the world of chemical literature. Created by the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) of the American Chemical Society (ACS), it located journal articles, books, book chapters, patent and other publications in the field of chemistry. It is global in scope, so many publications are not in English.
Before using it, you must first register for an account with the ACS. More information on SciFinder Academic from the ACS. It was formerly called SciFinder Scholar.
Get articles directly through SciFinder Academic or request them through interlibrary loan.
