New SciFinder Tool Allows Researchers to Create Customized Reaction Pathways

SciFinder now allows researchers to create customized reaction pathways and manage search results more effectively. The new feature, called SciPlanner, enables scientists to more quickly identify synthesis options for designing the best research pathways and approaches.SciPlanner enables researchers to:
  • Create complete reaction pathways from individual reactions across multiple publications that are indexed in SciFinder.
  • Visualize and consolidate preferred reaction strategies in a single place and combine them with references, structures, reactions, and substances.
  • Create reports to share specific reaction pathways for assignment, distribution, and presentation to colleagues.
Other SciFinder enhancements allow researchers to:
  • Sort reference answer sets by citation count to identify influential authors, research concepts, and potential collaborators.
  • Copy/paste ISIS/Draw structures directly into the SciFinder structure drawing editor to save time.
  • Extend searches to articles cited in MEDLINE references with the addition of citation data to MEDLINE records.
Queen's students, faculty and staff can access SciFinder via the Library website at http://library.queensu.ca/scifinder.
