SciFinder Scholar, version 2007

noreply@ (pintini) — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 08:34:40 +0200

La nouvelle version de SciFinder* est disponible.

Quelques précisions par rapport à la version antérieure:

* Categorize references—this tool enables you to sort and evaluate information in your answer sets by creating a histogram for easy analysis. Categorize separates related references on the basis of their associated CA index terms. With categorize, you can reassemble the different subsets in unique ways creating opportunities for new insights.
* Save answers—now you can save answer lists of references, substances, or reactions and re-use them later in other SciFinder Scholar sessions.
* Combine answer sets—the combine tool makes it possible to focus on a particular research topic in new ways by combining the substances, reactions, and references in an active answer set with those in a previously saved one. By employing various options of Combine, Intersect, or Remove, you can manipulate and customize the information contained in these combined answer sets.
* Export commercial chemicals records from CHEMCATS® into Excel—create reports listing your favorite commercial sources, including contact information and pricing, for substances of interest. Catalog information is exported into Excel spreadsheets for sorting, manipulation, and reference.
* Explore from substance displays—become more productive by using a substance record display to launch a new search or refine a previous one.
* Print structures in grid format—gain a unique comparative view of multiple chemical structures by printing them side by side in this handy grid arrangement.

Article: Web of Science, Scopus, and Classical Online: Philosophies of Searching

noreply@ (pintini) — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 09:15:23 +0200

Libmann, François, Web of Science, Scopus, and Classical Online: Philosophies of Searching, Online, mai/juin 2007, vol. 31, n° 3.

"The article presents a reprint of the translated article "Web of Science: une philosophie de la recherche," which appeared in the September 2006 issue of "BASES." It compares the Web-based research tools Web of Science and Scopus. Web of Science is an online academic database from Thomson Scientific while Scopus is an abstract and citation database by Elsevier. As direct competitors, both share interesting features, because of Elsevier's user-centered design approach to Scopus' development."
