Providence Journal

The core of the biochemical literature consists of research journals. It is essential for a practicing biochemist to maintain a knowledge of biochemical advances in his or her field of research and related areas. Scores of research journals are published with the intent of keeping scientists up to date. With the expansion of scientific information has come the need for efficient storage and use of research journals. Many publishers are now providing journals in forms such as microcards, microfilm, microfiche, and...

The first full text NDT Journal on www.ndt.net, the Online Journal of Nondestructive Testing Ultrasonics, is on the Internet and each month provides new information as well as a comprehensive overall reference - access is free since it is sponsored by the NDT online exhibition. 

Usually an Internet user learns after a while where to go for specific information The Browser provides a bookmark tlmction where all these addresses can be organized by different subjects Typical bookmark folders are Societies, Companies, Journals, Institutes, Databases, Search engines The NDTnet Journal provides a virtual library that makes it easy for newcomers to find NDT sites. Unfortunately, some sites provide a lot of information but do not offer a search function. 

Typical bibliographic databases are the CA File of Chemical Abstracts Service CAS) or Medline of the US National Library of Medicine. Most electronic journals provide articles as full-text files, e.g., the Journal of the American Chemical Society ( ACS). 

If the query provides thousands of hits, the analyze features are particularly advantageous. One method is to analyze the results by any of the criteria that arc listed, c.g., by language (default), author names, journals, puhlication year, and so on. If one specification is selected and the choice is modified, the hit list will be updated. A more specific analysis is available with the Refine" option. where the user has the opportunity to choose one of eight criteria (including the search topics above) with further individual input. Several refinements of the hit list can reduce the result to a concise list of literature. To read the abstract of an article, the microscope button (to the right of the citation) has to be pressed (Figure 5-15). 

The CAS Registry contains information on all the chemical compounds published in the literature since 1957. The sources of these 21 million compounds are 9000 international journals containing chemical information. The database includes CAS Registry Numbers, the CAS name (not conforming to the lUPAC convention) with synonyms, and molecular and structural formulas. The CAS provides a weekly update (see Section 5.4). 

An annotated list of representative experiments is provided from the Journal of Chemical Education. 

Location of and access to chemical and technical information other than journal articles is avadable through computerized information networks. Electronic bulletin board systems (BBS) provide a telecommunications tool to anyone who has a computer and a modem. Questions can be posted and read by thousands of bulletin board users worldwide, and files and software are easdy transferred from virtually anywhere to one s computer. 

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). 

The bulk of the patent specification is the disclosure, the text and illustrations that describe the claimed invention in detail and explain how the claimed invention differs from the prior art. Modem patent disclosures contain a summary of the claimed invention, a description of the background of the invention, a general description of the way in which the invention is made and used, specific examples, and, where appHcable, drawings of the invention in general or specific embodiments. The technical information provided in a patent specification may be used without infringing the patent only practicing the invention defined in the claims within the term and territory of the patent grant is forbidden. Because much of the information in patent specifications is never pubHshed in refereed journals or other nonpatent media, patent disclosures are an invaluable part of the technical Hterature. 

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... 

Citations appear in patents as weU as in the journal Hterature, and it has been proposed that they, too, should become searchable to provide different types of usefiil information, such as research trends and estimates of the effectiveness of research organizations. Elaborate techniques for using citation data for such analyses have been developed (19,20). However, citations found in patents can differ in a number of ways from Hterature citations and these differences can strongly color search results (21,22).
