CHEM 105: Physical Chemistry Laboratory: Home

Good place to begin your search of the science and engineering literature (articles and conference papers), indexing 18,000+ journals and 180,000 conference proceedings. Easy interface for building "and/or" searches to include alternative keywords. Article records include bibliographies of the articles cited, the articles that subsequently cited your article in question, and related articles identified based on common citations.

A better alternative to searching Google because it searches the scholarly literature rather than "everything." Very limited tools for refining searches, but you can go into the advanced search to limit a word or phrase be found in the title only. Indexes at the full text article level so it may identify articles not found in other databases. Using Google Scholar Advanced Search (1-min video)

Comprehensive index to the chemical literature, indexing 59+ million references to articles, patents, and other documents. Use the References search to find articles related to your lab experiments, then filter the results by document type, language, etc.. SciFinder-n requires a one-time registration.

Single platform for cross searching Compendex and Inspec for finding journal articles, conference papers, and other documents. Inspec covers physics and physical chemistry, while both databases cover all aspects of engineering. Duplicate references between the two databases can be removed.
