Scholarly, multi-disciplinary database covering thousands of journals and other publications. Includes full-text access to peer-reviewed journals, and indexing/abstracts for magazines, monographs, reports, and conference proceedings. Features some PDF content going back as far as 1867, with the majority of full text titles in native (searchable) PDF format. Searchable cited references are provided for 1,000 journals.
Provides comprehensive coverage of biological science fields including animal behavior, aquatic life and fisheries, chemoreception, biochemistry, ecology, plant science, toxicology, virology, microbiology, immunology genetics, health and safety science, oncogenes, entomology, and endocrinology neuroscience.
Contains citations to items in journals, books, conference proceedings, and technical reports, in all areas of the life sciences and biology. Many citations include abstracts.
Free chemical structure database providing fast access to over 30 million structures, properties and associated information. By integrating and linking compounds from more than 470 data sources, ChemSpider enables researchers to discover the most comprehensive view of freely available chemical data from a single online search. Owned by the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Comprehensive bibliographic database of scientific and technical engineering research available, covering all engineering disciplines. Includes citations and abstracts from engineering journals and conference proceedings.
Provides quick access to important new developments in organic synthesis. Topics include new reactions and reagents, functional group changes, the introduction of chiral centers, and enzyme and biological transformations. Items are included only where there is detail of novel or interesting features in organic synthetic methods so that there are no routine preparations to plow through.
Each MOS item includes reaction schemes, title and bibliographic details, and the items are categorized by five indexes: Author, Product, Reaction, Reactant and Reagent.
Note: As of 2015, this database was discontinued and its functions merged into Synthetic Reaction Updates.
Provides current information in natural product chemistry, providing quick access to recent significant advances in the subject. Covers new natural products, known compounds from new sources, isolation studies, structural determinations, new properties and activities, biosynthesis and biological activities. Contains structure diagrams, together with trivial and taxonomic names, molecular formulae, physical properties, and spectral data.
Provides access to US Federal government technical reports in science and technology. Indexes reports and provides PDF copies of some reports. Note: While access is free to the public, you must register with NTRL to gain access, and you may only download five reports per session. Also, free access is only available within the borders of the United States of America.
Date Coverage: 1964 - present (index); 1995 - present (full-text PDFs)
Materials Indexed: Technical Reports
Indexes preprints from five major repositories: arXiv, bioRxiv, ChemRxiv, medRxiv and Preprints.org. It provides a version history of preprints (where applicable) and links to citing preprint references as well as to citing references in journal articles, conference papers, and patents.
Indexes the work of authors from graduate schools and universities in North America and from around the globe. Starting with the 1980s records include abstracts of the works. Our subscription gives UCSB users access to UC dissertations in full text 1997 forward.
Provides information on the biological activities of small molecules. Organized as three linked databases: PubChem Substance, PubChem Compound, and PubChem BioAssay. Also provides a fast chemical structure similarity search tool.
Citations and abstracts for millions of articles in medicine, life science, and health administration. Includes full contents of MEDLINE, plus "in process" citations for recent articles, and some additional references from life sciences journals.
Our listing provides users with additional functionality including “Get it at UC” links to full text of journals.
Users who do not have a UCSBnet ID and password can use the non-UC version of PubMed for searching.

Evaluate Journals by Impact Factor
Provides analysis of the article publication and citation patterns of major journals in the sciences and social sciences. Information available for each journal includes the total number of article published, total citations to articles from the journal, Impact Factor (ratio of number of citations to number of articles), Immediacy Index, Journal Half-Life, Impact Factor Trends and more. These indices are widely used in comparing and evaluating scholarly journal quality.
