SciFinder is a premier database for science and engineering. In addition to chemistry and chemical engineering, SciFinder coverage extends to the chemical aspects of biology, environmental engineering, geology, materials science, medicine, and physics. SciFinder content and format coverage (journal articles, patents, theses, etc.) will be reviewed and search techniques for topics, chemical substances and reactions will be displayed. We will also briefly compare and contrast Reaxys & SciFinder with other important databases: Combined Chemical Dictionary, Web of Science, and PubMed.
