Current Journals of the American Chemical Society

A literature database well suited for obtaining the information we seek is the Current Journals of the American Chemical Society (CJACS) file. Like the CA file, CJACS is produced by the CAS and is searchable through the STN International network. The CJACS database has the advantages of being large (145,001 papers) and interdisciplinary, as well as covering some of the journals with the highest impact - on chemistry. The records in the database include not only abstracts, but also the full text of the articles and all the references and... 

Figure 2 Number of papers added each year to the CJACS (Current Journals of the American Chemical Society) database file of the Chemical Abstracts Service. This file contains full text of each paper published. For purposes of this figure, computational chemistry papers are counted based on any mention of at least one of the 60 or so programs covered in this chapter. Among these programs are many of those most widely used, as well as a sampling of additional computational chemistry programs. The numbers of computational chemistry papers in this plot are lower bounds to the true numbers, however, because there are thousands of other programs in use.
