Japan Information Center of Science and Technology -> JICST

CAS cooperates with Fachinformationszentrum Energie, Physik, Mathematik (FIZ-Karlsruhe) in Karlsruhe, Federal Republic of Germany, and the Japan Information Center of Science and Technology (JICST) in Tokyo, Japan, to form STN International, the scientific and technical information network. The CAS-developed Messenger software is used to support STN International and is running on...

In other parts of the world, reference journals were also founded In 1927, the first issue of the journal Nippon Kagaku Soran was published in Japanese. This journal has abstracted the Imown chemical literature in Japan since 1877. The Japan Information Center of Science and Technology (JICST), which was founded 1957, took over the reference journal in 1958 for financial reasons and continued publishing it with the new title Domestic Chemistry Series of JICST Current Awareness. The rest of the world did not take very much notice of Japanese publications, now and then an article was cited in Chemisches Zen-tralblatt or Chemical Abstracts although this Japanese reference journal was essential for Japanese chemists. The number of publications, which were cited in Chemical Abstracts increased steadily (34 abstracts in 1907 109,800 in 1991), the systematic access to the Japanese chemical literature was organized after the Second World War Since 1977, the Japan Association for International Chemical Information (JAICI), a department of JICST, has cooperated with Chemical Abstracts Service and since 1980, all CA abstracts of Japanese publications have been written by JAICI. 

The most important host in chemical information is STN - Scientific Technical Network International. The nature of this host is most specific, as three institutionalized computer centers are backing it, the Chemical Abstracts Service, Columbus, Ohio, the Fachinformationszentrum (FIZ) Karlsruhe, and the Japan Information Center of Science and Technology (JICST), Tokyo. These three are permanently interrelated by use of satellite lines (Fig. 78). The... 

STN International Scientific Technical Network, computer system which is jointly offered by three database producers the American Chemical Society, -y FIZ Karlsruhe and the Japan Information Center of Science and Technology (JICST). The three service centers at CAS in Columbus (USA), in Karlsruhe (Germany) and in Tokyo are linked via satellite and submarine cable. STN currently offers about 160 databases in a variety of scientific and technical subject areas. 

JICST/JOIS. The Japan Information Center for Science and Technology (JICST) Mass Spectral Database is accessible to users in Japan through the JICST Factual Database System (fOIS-F). The database uses the NIST/EPA/ MSCD data collection supplemented by spectra from the Mass Spectrometry Society of Japan (84). 

JICST-E is a bibliographic database with English citations and abstracts covering the literature published in Japan on all fields of science, technology, and medicine. It is produced by the Japan Information Center of Science and Technology and covers 1985 to date. 

Technology Corporation, Information Center for Science and Technology (JICST). The STN Centers in Karlsruhe, Columbus, and Tokyo have many years of experience in the field of scientific information. With these three scientific organizations in Europe, Japan, and the USA, STN provides an international service for the scientific community and has, since it began in 1986, become the leading information network for science and technology.
