Databases

• CAS SciFinder-n - CAS SciFinder-n is a database created by the Chemical Abstracts Society (CAS) as a complete chemistry information resource. Search all reactions, substances and references at once. Living history lets you rerun past searches with a single click.
• JoVE (Journal of Visualized Experiments) Video Journal and Science Education - A video library dedicated to teaching the practice and theory of scientific experiments through engaging and easy-to-understand visual demonstrations. JoVE Education includes lab manuals, methods and an encyclopedia of experiments.
• ACS Publications A-Z Provides access to American Chemical Society publications such as peer-reviewed journals and research articles.
• e-EROS : Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis - Information on reagents and catalysts for all chemists planning or working on organic syntheses. Detailed information on more than 4,500 reagents and catalysts, with new articles updated yearly. Searchable by structure and sub-structure, reagent, reaction type, experimental conditions, and keyword.

Websites

• NIST Chemistry Portal - Provides users with easy access to chemical and physical property data for chemical species through the internet. The data provided in the site are from collections maintained by the NIST Standard Reference Data Program and outside contributors. Data in the WebBook system is organized by chemical species. The WebBook system allows users to search for chemical species by various means. Once the desired species has been identified, the system will display data for the species.
• PubChem - Chemistry database at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), that collects information on chemical structures, identifiers, chemical and physical properties, biological activities, patents, health, safety, toxicity data, and many others.

• Periodic Table of Elements - The periodic table of the chemical elements displays the organizing principles of matter. This resource allows you to explore a broad range of information about the elements, their reactions, their properties, their structures, and their histories.

Citation Styles

• The ACS quick citation guide

•  The ACS Style Guide is the definitive source for all information needed to write, review, submit, and edit scholarly and scientific manuscripts. See Chapter 14 for citing and referencing guidelines.
