Electronic Resources

For a complete list of electronic databases available see OhioLINK Research Databases.  The following is a list of databases that may be helpful with chemistry research:

Applied Science & Technology Abstracts  (1983 - present). This database provides citations and abstracts to articles in 400+ engineering, science and technological journals and industry publications. Updated monthly.

Science Citation Index  (1992 – present) Contains more than 5300 of the leading science and technical publications from all over the world. Provides citations to articles on a specified topic, person or place of interest. The electronic format contains approximately 2000 more journals than the print version. Directly links to the OhioLINK Electronic Journal Center if the article is available full-text. Also available in print - Ref. Z7401.S365 (1965 -present).

OhioLINK Electronic Journal Center (1995 - present) Full text of journal articles from major publishers. Currently includes journals published by Elsevier Science and Academic Press. Browse by journal title or subject category or do a keyword search.

CORE : Chemistry/OhioLINK Resource Explorer A web site designed to provide chemistry students and faculty information about general chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry.  There are also links to interactive chemistry problems, course syllabus, homework assignments, and past exams.
