CASREACT (Chemical Abstracts Reaction Search Service) is a reaction database started in 1985 with more than 6.7 million reactions (3 million single-step and 3.7 million multi-step reactions) (March, 2003) derived from 400 000 documents (journals, patents, etc.). The records contain the following information ...

CASREACT The CASREACT Eile (The Chemical Absiracts Reaction Search Service) is a chemical reaction database with reaction inlormatioii derived from journal documients from 1974 to the present and from patent documeiiis from 1982 to date. Thie document-based file conlains both 3 million single-step and 3.0 million multi-step reactions (Pcbiniaiy, 2003). 

The reinaining five search topics (Research Topic, Author Name, Document Identifier, Company Namc/Organii ation, and Browse Table of Contents arc conducted in a similar fashion, with the input being the only difference between the criteria. Thus, in Research Topic" the entry can be any, or even several, keywords or phrases. In "Author Name", literature written by a specific author will be Found, including alternative spelling, Document Identifier" can also be entered directly in the query. Document identifiers arc CA abstract numbers, patent numbers, patent application numbers, or priority application numbers. The last two search topics (Company Name/Organi2ation, and Browse Table ofContents) allow one to search for literature from specific companies or to view the list of journals which are available in the database. 

The Beilstein database [20] has more than 8.3 million (October, 2002) organic substance records from the Beilstein Handbook and abstracted from about 180 journals in organic chemistry from 1779 to the present. AH documents are critically evaluated and peer-reviewed.

GORE. The CORE Electronic Chemistry Library is a joint project of Cornell University, OCLC (On-line Computer Library Center), Bell Communications Research (Bellcore), and the American Chemical Society. The CORE database will contain the full text of American Chemical Society Journals from 1980, associated information from Chemical Abstracts Service, and selected reference texts. It will provide machine-readable text that can be searched and displayed, graphical representations of equations and figures, and full-page document images. The project will examine the performance obtained by the use of a traditional printed index as compared with a hypertext system (SUPERBOOK) and a document retrieval system (Pixlook) (6,116). 

Apart from the technical classification information, E, the front page of the patent also contains a listing of pubHcations or references cited during examination, G, including "United States Patent Documents," "Eoreign Patent Documents," and "Other PubHcations" such as trade Hterature, journal articles, and product descriptions. 

Patent documents differ from journal Hterature in several ways. First of all, they are legal documents whose disclosures support one or more claims that define an area of property rights. The language in patent documents can therefore be quite convoluted "patentese" as the appHcant strives to achieve the broadest possible scope of coverage. Examples provided in patents may never have happened. Based on the appHcant s understanding of the technical... 

The period covered by the published accounts of a company is usually 1 year, but the details from which these accounts are compiled are entered daily in a journal. The journal is a chronological listing of every transaction of the business, with details of the corresponding income or expenditure. For the smallest businesses, this may provide sufficient documentation, but in most cases the unsystematic nature of the journal can lead to computational errors. Therefore, the usual practice is to keep accounts that are listings of transactions related to a specific topic such as purchase-of-oil account. This account would list the cost of each purchase of oil, together with the date of purchase, as extracted from the journal.

"NIOSHTIC(R) is a bibliographie database which provides comprehensive international coverage of documents on occupational health and safety, as well as related fields. It eontains detailed summaries of over 200,000 articles, reports and publications, spanning over 100 years. NIOSHTIC(R) sources include over 160 scientific and technical journals, NIOSH reports (published and unpublished), NIOSH research bibliographies, abstracts from CIS Abstracts, and personal files from respected professionals on selected topics. 

Military pyrotechnics, in contrast to civilian pyrotechnics, is well documented, although much of the useful device-oriented literature is either outdated or classified. Pyrotechnics as a science sees only limited attention and much current work is reported only in proceedings of meetings because, with some exceptions, there are few recognized journals which are suited to the subject... 

Temperatures on ITS-90, as on earlier scales, are defined in terms of fixed points, interpolating instruments, and equations that relate the measured property of the instrument to temperature. The report on ITS-90 of the Consultative Committee on Thermometry is published in Metrologia and in the Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology The description that follows is extracted from those publications.3 Two additional documents by CCT further describe ITS-90 Supplementary Information for the ITS-90, and Techniques for Approximating the ITS-90.4... 

Not all problems were solved, however, and different usages were encountered on the two sides of the Atlantic. A joint British-American committee was therefore set up, and in 1952 it published Rules for Carbohydrate Nomenclature [18]. This work was continued, and a revised version was endorsed in 1963 by the American Chemical Society and by the Chemical Society in Britain and published [19]. The publication of this report led the IUPAC Commission on Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry to consider the preparation of a set of IUPAC Rules for Carbohydrate Nomenclature. This was done jointly with the IUPAC-IUB Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature, and resulted in the Tentative Rules for Carbohydrate Nomenclature, Part I, 1969 , published in 1971/72 in several journals [1]. It is a revision of this 1971 document that is presented here. In the present document, recommendations are designated 2-Carb-n, to distinguish them from the Carb-n recommendations in the previous publication. 

Once the complete title is known, the journal can easily be obtained if it is in the library customarily used by the chemist. If not, one must use another library, and the next step is to find out which libraries carry the journal. CASSI answers this question too, since it carries a list of some 360 libraries in the United States and other countries, and for each journal it tells which of these libraries carries it, and furthermore, if the holdings are incomplete, which volumes of that journal are carried by each library. It may be possible to visit the closest library personally. If not, a copy of the article can usually be obtained through interlibrary loan. The CASSI also includes lists of journal publishers, sales agents, and document depositories. Photocopies of most documents cited in CA can be obtained from chemical Abstracts Document Delivery Service, Customer Services, 2540 Olentangy River Road, Columbus OH, 43210, USA. Orders for documents can be placed by mail, telephone. Telex, fax, or online through STN or other services.

Unfortunately, the absolute energy input for a synthesis plan and the fraction of total input energy directed to final target product are not given as part of the standard protocol of reporting experimental results of individual chemical reaction or synthesis plan performances in scientific journals or patents. At this time there are no documented examples in the literature that can be used to illustrate the utility of the relationships shown above. 

Beilstein. Beilstein [63], a structure and factual database covering organic chemistry, contains more than 7,688,485 substance records (3/2000). The organic substance records contain reviewed and evaluated documents from the Beilstein Handbook of Organic Chemistry as well as data from 120 journals in organic chemistry covering the period 1779 to the present. Beilstein Database is commercially available in several electronic formats.
