SciFinder Scholar 2006 now available
CAS is pleased to announce the release of SciFinder Scholar 2006 for Microsoft Windows
Download SciFinder Scholar 2006 from
http://www.library.yale.edu/science/help/scifinder/sfsdownload.html
today to begin using new, powerful features:
- Structure Similarity Searching
- New structure and reaction query tools: Variable Attachment Position tool and Repeating Group tool
- Easy access to additional reaction information
- Enhanced multi-step reaction display
- New quick look-up of research references
- Duplicate detection/removal…and much more!
New features of SciFinder 2006 include:
o Similarity Searching - as a complement to SciFinder substructure
searching, similarity searching permits new options for identifying
substances of interest via precise statistical analysis using the
Tanimoto algorithm;
o Structure Query Tools - to identify substances more precisely, new
tools permit drawing a variable attachment point and a repeating group;
o Reaction Searching - finding reaction information has been enriched
with new content and features; these include reaction conditions and
identifying intermediate reactions in a multi-step reaction. Scientists can also click any substance in the reaction display to find additional information, including retro-synthetic pathways;
o Navigation & Usability - improvements include duplicate detection and removal for more efficient combined searching of the CAplus and MEDLINE databases. A new Locate feature permits quick access to journal and patent documents by entering journal titles, author names and other partial bibliographic information.
While announcing the release of SciFinder 2006 for Windows, CAS revealed that a native MAC OS X version of SciFinder will appear in fourth quarter 2005.
