INDEX CHEMICUS(r) DATABASE KEEPS ORGANIC CHEMISTS ON TOP OF
NEW COMPOUNDS
PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA -- December 22, 1995 -- The
Institute for Scientific Information(r) (ISI) now offers
Index Chemicus as a searchable database, allowing scientists
to more easily keep on top of developments in the field of
chemistry.
The Index Chemicus relational database provides
electronic access to structures, bibliographic data, and
concise summaries of articles from over 100 organic
chemistry journals from around the world. It indexes more
than 200,000 new organic compounds per year. Unlike other
structure databases, it also includes English-language
author abstracts.
"The increasing flood of scientific information makes
it harder than ever to keep up with organic chemistry,"
noted Thomas Kelly, Vice President and General Manager of
Chemical Products. "The Index Chemicus database selects
important new compounds from over 100 organic chemistry
journals. Monthly updates ensure that researchers have
access to the latest results that they can't afford to
miss."
Searchers can now access the database using the ISIS(tm)
search and retrieval platform, giving them the ability to search on
all structures, as well as related textual data stored in the
ORACLE(r) relational database management system.
Index Chemicus also:
o Allows for searching on a variety of indexes, so that
the researcher can look up papers of interest by compound,
institution, or keyword.
o Notes activity reported for over 500 types of screens,
allowing chemists to quickly find compounds with the
bioactivities they are interested in.
o Contains thousands of compounds and synthetic
intermediates not found in any other database.
Index Chemicus is updated monthly, with data going back
to 1993. The availability of Index Chemicus on ISIS and
ORACLE is part of an ongoing expansion of the ISI Chemical
Information Products Division. Other chemical information
products include the Reaction Citation Index(tm), Current
Chemical Reactions(r), The Chemistry Citation Index(r), and
Current Contents(r)/Physical, Chemical and Earth Sciences.
The Institute for Scientific Information has been
publishing current awareness products, such as Current
Contents(r), for more than thirty-five years. ISI also
produces cited reference products such as the Science
Citation Index(r). Document delivery from The Genuine
Article is available with all of the research databases
provided by ISI.
