Databases
Reaxys
Reaxys is a web-based search and retrieval system for chemical compounds, bibliographic data and chemical reactions. It has extensive coverage of authoritative information in organic, inorganic and organometallic chemistry.
The information in Reaxys goes back to 1771.
Organic chemistry information up to 1959 (over 1.1 million compounds) was originally obtained from the Beilstein Handbook of Organic Chemistry. The information came from journals, monographs, reviews, books as well as patents.Organic chemistry information from 1960 to the present has been extracted from selected journals and patents.
Inorganic and organometallic information covering the literature from 1817 to 1975 was originally obtained from the Gmelin Handbook of Inorganic and Organometallic Chemistry. Inorganic and organometallic chemistry information from 1976 to the present has been extracted from selected inorganic, organometallic, physical chemistry, and physics journals.
The historical patent information covers patents from 1803 to about 1980.
The information abstracted from those patents includes substance and reaction data, and patent citation information such as patent assignee, authors, patent number, patent year, and country code. Mostly organic chemistry is covered.
The in-depth patent information covers patents from 1976 to the present. These patents are English language patents from World, US, and European patent offices.
Access: via the web from any device in the university network or via auth proxy.
Coverage: 1771-

Scopus
Scopus is a comprehensive scientific, medical, technical and social science database containing all relevant literature. A comprehensive suite of metrics embedded throughout Scopus (at the journal, article or author level) is designed to help facilitate evaluation and provide a better view of your research interests. In particular, for literature searches on systematic reviews and meta-analysis, EMBASE (SCOPUS) and Medline/PubMed can be considered as the least to be searched for biomedical science topics. Scopus also offers patents from 5 patent offices (US Patent and Trademark Office, European Patent Office, Japan Patent Office, World Intellectual Property Organization and UK Intellectual Property Office). Daily updated
Access: from any device in the university network. Remote access by Single Sign On (SSO).
