Our mission is...
Finding reliable (and recent) information sources Finding a paper by specific authors Finding review articles on particular subjects like
biochemicals Finding information for compounds – formulas,
structures, toxicity Finding out about enzymes – EC numbers Using ChemSketch / drawing chemical structures Using Google Scholar Find out how often a paper has been cited Formatting a bibliography in the ACS citation style

We already know... (p. 1)
Journals have articles relating to the journal topic A review article sums up what other articles have been
written on a subject Citing means listing what you’ve read as
research/background References (inline and at end) are used when the
author’s quoting something, or refering to facts We can draw structures by hand

We already know... (p. 2)
Some of us also know: How to reference in the APA style How to find papers through Google Scholar / Scopus How to get a list of lecturers’ papers from the
department website How to locate chemical data – from Vogel’s Textbook of
Practical Organic Chemistry
![Page 5: Chemical Information - BCHM281/CHEM281 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cc63bd8b42a64718b5458/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
We need to know…
How to find reliable sources including papers and references
About review articles Finding chemical data, EC numbers etc Drawing molecules in ChemSketch / Chemspider Find out the number of citations – how often
something’s been cited How to reference properly - ACS citation style
![Page 6: Chemical Information - BCHM281/CHEM281 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cc63bd8b42a64718b5458/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Today we’ll cover…
1. How scientists share information
2. Finding chemical and/or enzyme data
3. Structure drawing
4. Finding papers
5. Citing sources in ACS style
![Page 7: Chemical Information - BCHM281/CHEM281 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cc63bd8b42a64718b5458/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How would you…share your results?
Give talks Write them down and send to a friend Send letters or newsletters Publish in newspapers Publish independently - get in touch with a
printing press to publish papers or books Gather articles about the same subject and
send out a journal
![Page 8: Chemical Information - BCHM281/CHEM281 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cc63bd8b42a64718b5458/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Journals
Magazines for scientists
Narrow subject focus
New issues regularly(quarterly/monthly/...)
Each issue has papers by a variety of authors about their research.
![Page 9: Chemical Information - BCHM281/CHEM281 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cc63bd8b42a64718b5458/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
How would you…prevent hoaxes?
Repeat the experiment and see if you get the same results Check the author’s credentials - make sure it’s not sent by a
politician!
Employ people who know the field to edit journals Check ideas against previously published information Peer review – Send papers out to other people who know the
subject to see what they think about them and whether they’re feasible or credible
![Page 10: Chemical Information - BCHM281/CHEM281 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cc63bd8b42a64718b5458/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Peer review
The paper is sent to the author’s peers - scientists working in the same field.
They review the article to check for accuracy, clarity, reproducibility, etc.
The author makes corrections and improvements.
The article is published.
![Page 11: Chemical Information - BCHM281/CHEM281 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cc63bd8b42a64718b5458/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How would you…balance access & profit?
Put journals in a search engine – easy to find Charge libraries and universities for passwords Big companies manage databases = articles from lots
of journals all in one place
Subscription fees or pay-per-article A free preview but pay for the full article Articles could be free to view, funded by:
advertising research grants donations government (find a military application for it!) universities (maybe hosted on university servers)
![Page 12: Chemical Information - BCHM281/CHEM281 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cc63bd8b42a64718b5458/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Databases
By publisher vs by subject
Full-text vs citation only
Papers vs data
Precision vs usability
Pay-for vs free
No-one has it all!

Summary
Subject guide website & “How to find” tab for: Chemical data Journal articles Safety data sheets
For reliable sources search in databases which collect peer-reviewed journals – eg Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar
What each database specialises in: Brenda for enzymes and EC numbers ChemWatch for hazards and material safety datasheets (MSDS) ChemSpider for structure, properties, drawing molecules Web of Science, Google Scholar for journal papers
Refining document type to “Review” to narrow down to overviews ACS style – see http://library.canterbury.ac.nz/services/ref/acs/
