The MSID s purpose is to develop technologies and standards that can be used to implement information-intensive manufacturing systans. Through this link, readers can find their products and tools, publications, services, and a description of their major research areas. 

Publications of this kind are described as non-original. They are abstracting services and handbooks that catch the primary literature, condense the important contents, and make this information available (searchable). Secondary literature is not evaluated and is provided in both printable and electronic forms. Examples are Gmelin, Beilstein, Citations Chemisches Zentralblatt, Chemical Abstracts, or Science Citation Index handbooks include Houben-Weyl, and Landolt Bomstein. 

The lUPAC rules are not the only nomenclature system in use today Chemical Abstracts Service sur veys all the worlds leading scientific journals that publish papers relating to chemistry and publishes brief abstracts of those papers The publication Chemical Abstracts and its indexes are absolutely es sential to the practice of chemistry For many years Chemical Abstracts nomenclature was very similar to lUPAC nomenclature but the tremendous explosion of chemical knowledge has required Chemical Abstracts to modify Its nomenclature so that its indexes are better adapted to computerized searching This means that whenever feasible a compound has a sin gle Chemical Abstracts name Unfortunately this Chemical Abstracts name may be different from any of the several lUPAC names In general it is easier to make the mental connection between a chemical structure and its lUPAC name than its Chemical Abstracts name... 

Information was gleaned from each original publication except where an additional reference to Chemical Abstracts is included. Each citation of a Russian journal or Angewandte Chemie refers to the original Russian or German version, not to any subsequent English translation. Abbreviations for journal titles are those recommended in the Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index (1994) and quarterly supplements.

A quarterly publication of Industrial Research Service, Inc., Dover, N.H. It gives cost data for process engineers. Each year it pubhshes an index and abstract of cost literature. 

Those wishing to find out more about these items should consult the various publications of the Internal Revenue Service. They can most easily be located by using the United States Government Publication Index, which is available in most large libraries. The individual reports can be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents in Washington, D. C.

Bibliographic Indices.This publication is listed in bibliographic services, including Current Contents and Index Medicus. 

Most public libraries subscribe to database services such as InfoTrac or EBSCO that index articles from hundreds of general-interest periodicals (and some moderately specialized ones). The database can be searched by author or by words in the title, subject headings, and sometimes words found anywhere in the article text. Depending on the database used, hits in the database can result in just a bibliographical description (author, tide, pages, periodical name, issue date), a description plus an abstract (a paragraph summarizing the contents of the article), or the full text of the article itself. 

For periodicals not indexed by an online service (or for which only abstracts rather than complete text is available), check to see whether the publication has its own web site (many now do). Some scholarly publications are putting all or most of their articles online. Popular publications tend to offer only a limited selection. Some publications of both types offer archives of several years back issues that can be searched by author or by keyword. 

The best way to learn if a compound is mentioned in the literature after the period covered by the latest semiannual formula index of CA is to use the online services (p. 1261). However, if one lacks access to these, one may consult Chemical Titles and the keyword index (p. 1244) at the end of each issue of CA. In these cases, of course, it is necessary to know what name might be used for the compound. The name is not necessary for Index Chemicus (p. 1254) one consults the formula indexes. However, these methods are far from complete. Index Chemicus lists primarily new compounds, those which would not have been found in the earlier search. As for Chemical Titles, the compound can be found only if it is mentioned in the title. The keyword indexes in CA are more complete, being based on internal subject matter as well as title, but they are by no means exhaustive. Furthermore, all three of these publications lag some distance behind the original journals. To locate all references to a compound after the period covered by the latest semiannual formula index of CA. it is necessary to use CA online. 

Research articles of interest to biochemists may appear in many types of research journals. Research libraries do not have the funds necessary to subscribe to every journal, nor do scientists have the time to survey every current journal copy for articles of interest. Two publications that help scientists to keep up with published articles are Chemical Titles (published every 2 weeks by the American Chemical Society) and the weekly Current Contents available in hard copy and computer disks (published by the Institute of Science Information). The Life Science edition of Current Contents is the most useful for biochemists. The computer revolution has reached into the chemical and biochemical literature, and most college and university libraries now subscribe to computer bibliographic search services. One such service is STN International, the scientific and technical information network. This on-line system allows direct access to some of the world s largest scientific databases. The STN databases of most value to life scientists include BIOSIS Pre-views/RN (produced by Bio Sciences Information Service covers original research reports, reviews, and U.S. patents in biology and biomedicine), CA (produced by Chemical Abstracts service covers research reports in all areas of chemistry), MEDLINE, and MEDLARS (produced by the U.S. National Library of Medicine and Index Medicus, respectively cover all areas of biomedicine). These networks provide on-line service and their databases can be accessed from personal computers in the office, laboratory, or library. Some... 

The timeliness of a manuscript is more important than its form, which may be unfinished or tentative. Thus, in some instances, proofs may be merely outlined and results presented which have been or will later be published elsewhere. If possible, a subject index should be included. Publication of Lecture Notes is intended as a service to the international chemical community, in that a commercial publisher, Springer-Verlag, can offer a wider distribution to documents which would otherwise have a restricted readership. Once published and copyrighted, they can be documented in the scientific literature.

Publications such as book series that are periodical in nature but are not journals may be styled as either books or journals. CASSI lists every document abstracted and indexed by the Chemical Abstracts Service hence, book titles are included and abbreviated. Key words to look for with these types of publications include Advances , Methods , Progress , and Series . 

The government publication number, also called an agency report number, is important because it is unique to the publication and because some indexing services provide access by these numbers. These numbers (or number-letter combinations) are usually printed somewhere on the cover or title page of the document and are sometimes identified as a report/accession number . Treat a report number the same as a series number that is, it follows the book title, ends with a semicolon, and is set in roman type. 

Data sets are compilations of data, such as spectra or property tables. These data sets are often published serially as loose-leaf services, but the content is not always organized in chapters as in other serial publications. The citation of a serial data set should contain the title of the data set, the publisher, the place of publication, the date of the volume, the data entry number (as opposed to the data value), and the name of the figure or other identifying information. The page number can be included in the citation if page numbers are used in the index of the data set.
