Chemistry: SciFinder

Tips

"Categorize" is a powerful way to analyze search results by substances and by index terms.

CAS Registry Numbers make great keyword search terms.

Look at how SciFinder breaks your search into concepts ... it affects how your search is run. 

Use prepositions in keyword searches whenever possible
