SciFinder¯® is rapidly becoming a preferred means to
access scientific information in industry and universities
worldwide. It accesses databases which span the chemical,
engineering, life, medical, and physical sciences, including five
Chemical Abstract Service databases and the National Library of
Medicine bibliographic database Medline¯®. No other
single information access tool has such breadth of coverage for
scientific journal and patent documents.

Information Retrieval: SciFinder¯®,
2nd Edition is an essential guide explaining how to
get the best out of SciFinder. It discusses the 50+ options in
SciFinder¯® including topic, bibliographic, and
chemical substance explore options, and post-processing options
Analyze, Refine, and Categorize. The book:

* Summarises the databases and explains how to take advantage of
the unique search and analysis options

* Explains selected algorithms behind the operation of
SciFinder¯® and why it helps to understand them

* Discusses why it is important, and how to apply scientific
method to information retrieval

* Describes how to search for chemical structures and chemical
reactions

This second edition of Information Retrieval:
SciFinder¯® has been fully revised and updated
to incorporate the latest functionality and content of
SciFinder¯®. Written by a scientist for
scientists, this book will increase your research creativity
and productivity and is an essential resource for anyone needing
scientific information in academia or industry.

Professor Damon D Ridley Professor Ridley is recognized as one of the leading exponents in the field of chemical information retrieval using SciFinder. He is the author of Exploring SciFinder (Booknet Co Ltd, 2004), Information Retrieval: SciFinder and SciFinder Scholar (Wiley, 2002), and Online Searching: A Scientist's Perspective (Wiley, 1996), and over 50 scientific publications in the area. He has given well over 1000 presentations, workshops and demonstrations in the subject worldwide over the last 24 years.

Index.

"Overall this is a valuable resource and reference volume on using
SciFinder to its full potential, while allowing the more casual
user to dip into the key points and tips without delving into the
complexities of the underlying algorithms used by SciFinder and the
book therefore serves both the occasional use and expert alike."
(Chemistry World, December 2010)



A state-of-the art product...is SciFinder, offering
comprehensive databases both bibliographic and factual. A great
majority of resources in SciFinder are produced by CAS (Chemical
Abstracts Service), a division of the American Chemical Society.
This platform also offers advanced tools for working more
comfortably with the system. Damon D. Ridley in his book focuses in
detail on every option offered by SciFinder. His work can be
considered a comprehensive guide of every part of SciFinder."

Characterization, August 2010)
