Dear Colleagues, For the
chemists iScienceSearch is a better way to search the Internet than
Google! Some advantages: ·
Concentrate on scientific text and data – we include presently ca.
80 science related databases · You
don’t drown in information –
Google always gives a multitude of links instead of a single database
· You can
search by chemical structure · You can
select profiles, i.e. search in open access journals · The
results can be sorted, grouped and filtered iScienceSearch (http://isciencesearch.com/iss/default.aspx ) is specifically designed to
meet the information needs of chemists and biologist. The only
requirements for running iScienceSearch are: You
must allow Pop-up windows. You do
this by either deactivating the Pop-up Blocker, or temporarily allowing Pop-ups,
or by allowing permanent Pop-ups for the domain isciencesearch.com.
Please try this version. With best
regards, The iScienceSearch
development team, Hans-Jürgen Himmler and Alexander Kos Essential facts about iScienceSearch: · For the
biologist we have included the peptide
search engine “Proteax”
from BioChemFusion. · The
medicinal chemist can predict
accurately biological effects using “PASS”, and if you don’t know the
IUPAC name use “chemicalize”. · Your
search is automatically extended in the background. For instance
if you search for “Tamiflu”, we also find the CAS Registry Number,
structure, and many more names like “Oseltamivir”. In the background
we make many more searches to give you a complete answer. ·
iScienceSearch is a generic web application that supports all major
browsers on PC’s, notebooks, netbooks and tablets such as the iPad.
·
60% of all queries are structures. The remaining
queries are other structure identifiers, like name, CAS Registry Number, and
other numbers. A small portion are free text searches. We used a few free text
questions from the CCL mailing list, and we searched in Google, and in
iScienceSearch using the literature profile. We found out there are some limits
in text searching, since we cannot do a logical “and” using our
federated search technology. The iScienceSearch profile “Open
Access” is a big help for people who don’t have access to a lot of
online journals. Any result leads only to texts that can be read in full.
