The premier indexing source for chemical, biochemical, and chemical
engineering literature, covering over 12,000 journals and confernces, as
well as technical reports, dissertations, books, and patents. There are
two basic parts: the weekly abstracts issues, arranged by topics (each
issue contains its own indexes), and cumulative semiannual indexes, offering
access by chemical substances name, formula, general subject, and author.
There are also Collective Indexes covering 10 - or 5 - year periods. Use
the printed flyers available in the Library to learn the basics of searching
the printed indexes.
Other parts of CA to know about:
Annual thesaurus providing subject headings and controlled vocabulary,
cross-references and indexing notes for use with CA's Chemical Substance
and General Subject indexes. Located on the Reference Shelves.
The Author Indexes link names of authors, coauthors, inventors,
and assignees to the abstract numbers of documents that they have produced.
Since corporations are frequently listed as assignees of patent rights,
these indexes include corporate as well as personal names.
The names are listed alphabetical by last name. When the last names
are identical, the order is alphabetical by first initial and second initial
(NOT alphabetically by the letters in the first name). Abstract numbers
and document titles are linked only to the first listed author of coauthored
papers.
Other author names are cross-referenced to the name of the first author.
Abstracts are indexed through keyword phrases selected primarily
from the abstract text and document title. Keywords reflect the terminology
chosen by the authors in a variety of specialities and countries. Controlled
vocabulary is added to reduce the scattering of references over several
terms.
Retrospective listing of journal titles, conference titles, and
other printed sources abstracted by Chemical Abstracts, listed by their
established CA abbreviations. Appears every 5 years, with quarterly updates.
Very comprehensive. Located on thr end of Reference Collection shelves.
Chemical Abstracts is available online after 1967. Available through Dialog/STN or by full-service searches.
