Reviews

One of the largest abstracting services in the world and the most comprehensive one for chemists, this index abstracts about 755,000 documents per year. CA tracks approximately 9,500 titles every year and includes the chemical research reported in journal articles, patents, symposia, conference proceedings, dissertations, technical reports, and new books in chemistry. Although this information comes from over 150 countries in any of 50 languages and includes patents from 26 different countries, abstracts are always in English and augmented where necessary to include appropriate chemical indexing, including structure and sequence information. Chemical Abstracts is available in print, in microform, on CD-ROM, and as an online database in varying forms.
