SciFinder is a research discovery application that provides unlimited access to the world's most comprehensive collection of chemical substances, reactions, and bibliographic references. It is produced by Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), which monitors over 8,000 journals and other publications annually to compile its database. SciFinder offers flexible search options and tools to help users efficiently find relevant information to answer research questions and plan experiments from start to finish.

2. SciFinder is a research discovery application that
provides unlimited access to the world's most
comprehensive and authoritative source of
references,substances and reactions in chemistry and
related sciences.SciFinder offers a one-stop shop
experience with flexible search and discover options
based on user input and workflow.We can search for
substances, reactions, and patent and journal references
anytime, anywhere. Make better, more confident
decisions knowing that we have access to the largest
collection of substances, reactions, and patent and
journal references produced, compiled, and updated
daily by CAS scientists around the world..

3. Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) is a division of the
American Chemical Society. It is a source of chemical
information. CAS is located in Columbus, Ohio,
United States.
It is a periodical index that provides summaries and
indexes of disclosures in recently published scientific
documents. Approximately 8,000 journals, technical
reports, dissertations, conference proceedings, and
new books, available in at least 50 different languages,
are monitored yearly, as are patent specifications from
27 countries and two international organizations.
Chemical Abstracts ceased print publication on
January 1, 2010

4. CAS databases are available via two principal database
systems i.e., STN, and SciFinder.
STN : STN (Scientific & Technical Information Network)
International is operated jointly by CAS and FIZ Karlsruhe, and is
intended primarily for information professionals, using a command
language interface. In addition to CAS databases, STN also provides
access to many other databases, similar to Dialog.
SciFinder : SciFinder is a database of chemical and
bibliographic information. Originally a client application, a web version
was released in 2008. It has a graphics interface, and can be searched for
chemical structures and reactions. The client version is for chemists in
commercial organizations. Versions for both the Windows and Macintosh
exist. SciFinder Scholar is for universities and other academic
institutions and lacks some supplementary features for multi-database
searching.

5. SciFinder Save time with an array of powerful
tools to search, filter, analyze and plan that
allow us to quickly find the most relevant
answers to our research questions Industry
experts rely on SciFinder as their only source
for high-quality content combined with ease-
of-use features that help complete their
research project from start to finish. And now
with PatentPak, a robust, new patent workflow
solution which offers instant access to hard-to-
find chemistry in full-text patents directly in
SciFinder.
