Around 1,000 scientists at CAS create and curate the value-added databases in SciFinder by intellectually analyzing published articles and patents, indexing them with standardized keywords, substance details, structures, processes and properties to enable easy retrieval of information. SciFinder's powerful search and filtering tools allow users to quickly find relevant answers to research questions, covering both journals and patents as well as substances and reactions. It also saves researchers time by cross-linking related terms and keeping scientists updated on recent advances through alert services.
