Cutting edge research results with a click of the mouse

With its new search facility and directories of scientific publications from numerous journals in chemistry, pharma, life science and related disciplines, CHEMIE.DE Information Service GmbH now offers unparalleled access to scientific data, providing convenient filtering options for a truly unique search experience.

More than 200,000 scientific papers from several hundred journals, along with their bibliographic data and abstracts, are now searchable on the portals chemeurope.com and bionity.com. Results can be refined by specifying one or more subjects or industry sectors, because the articles have been categorised. By successively adding subject filters, highly complex searches can be conducted. For instance, if a search for a substance or pathogen yields a long list of results, it takes just a few mouse clicks to narrow these down to display only those results that relate to certain analytical or chemical methods, or to a specific subject.

Users can regularly access the bibliographical data and abstracts of the papers they find. Open access journals and publications to which the user has subscribed allow articles to be retrieved from the publisher's website in full text.

While conventional literature searches provide only scientific papers, users of the CHEMIE.DE portals can also find other content, such as news items, whitepapers, market studies and event notifications. The new search facility thus yields not only insular scientific results but also various other items relating to the search terms, providing a more comprehensive picture. A search for EHEC (enterohemorrhagic E. coli), for instance, may spawn anything from an encyclopaedic definition to current news items and relevant products, to scientific papers, all displayed at a glance on a single portal.

"With our new search facility for scientific publications we have further enhanced the information we offer to the scientific community," Dr Björn Lippold, Chief Content Officer at CHEMIE.DE, explains. "The most significant advantage of our new search facility over those that focus purely on scientific literature is that it yields a host of valuable, additional information. Results include current news items, scientifically relevant organisations and more, ranging from basic to specialist information and from scientific theory to business data, thereby conveying a comprehensive picture."
