Searches Chemical Abstracts Service databases, including chemical substances, chemical reactions, chemical suppliers and references, with one of the largest collections in each area. Also provides unique full text access to a large collection of chemical patents via its PatentPak feature.
SciFindern allows searching by author, topic or chemical substance in the Chemical Abstracts Service databases:
SciFindern includes structure drawing tools for structure and substructure searching of chemicals and reactions, and similarity searching of organic compounds. It also provides a Retrosynthetic Plan tool to help you create synthetic paths to a desired substance.
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.
Covers all disciplines of business, including marketing, management, MIS, POM, accounting, finance and economics. Includes financial data, books, monographs, major reference works, book digests, conference proceedings, case studies, investment research reports, industry reports, market research reports, country reports, company profiles, SWOT analyses and more.
Comprehensive bibliographic database of scientific and technical engineering research available, covering all engineering disciplines. Includes citations and abstracts from engineering journals and conference proceedings.
Materials Science: A SAGE Full-Text Collection includes the full text of 15 journals published by SAGE and participating societies, some journals going back eight years, encompassing over 5,300 articles. It covers such subjects as: high performance polymers; molecular modeling characterization and evaluation of polymers, polymeric drugs and drug design; polymeric functionalization; natural polymer modification; enzyme modeling by polymers; membranes for biological use; liposome stabilization and cell modeling. The searchable database consists of bibliographic records (indexed summaries or abstracts) as well as the complete text of each journal article. Every bibliographic record in the Collection links to the appropriate full text in PDF format.
Date Coverage: 1994 to present
Materials Indexed: Journal Articles
Contains peer-reviewed conference papers presented at Materials Research Society meetings. Topics include electronic materials, plastics and polymers, composite materials, ceramics and metals. For current MRS proceedings (2016-present) see the journal "MRS Advances".
Date Coverage: 1980-2015
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.
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.
Indexes papers on optics, photonics, optoelectronics, and imaging. Subject coverage is broad across optical technology, including astronomy, aerospace, remote sensing, biomedical optics, communications & fiber optics, electronic & medical imaging, lasers, microelectronics & micromachining, nanotechnology, optical physics, chemistry & biology, and signal & image processing.
Covers thousands of research journals, and extensive collections of conference proceedings and books across hundreds of disciplines.
Web of Science consists of the following databases:

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.
