Chemistry: A Guide to Research Resources
Resources to help you search the chemical literature for the latest research, syntheses and reactions, analytical methods, chemical and physical properties, etc.
The primary database for searching the chemical literature. You must register for an account using your utk.edu or utsi.edu email. Visit our SciFinder guide for search tips.
Contains reaction and property data extracted from core journals and patents in organic, inorganic, and organometallic chemistry. Complements SciFinder with excellent pre-1960 coverage.
Covers the scholarly literature in the sciences, engineering, medicine, and social sciences. Coverage is strongest from 1996 to present. Complements Web of Science.
The place to start for finding research in life sciences, including biochemistry, biophysics, biotechnology, botany, ecology, microbiology, and zoology.

Got a Citation?
Use the Explore references by journal in SciFinder to retrieve references from journals or other non-patent sources. Alternatively, you can use our Citation Linker to track down the article.
Lets you browse and read journals in your field, create a bookshelf of your favorite journals, build reading lists of articles, and syncs with the BrowZine app for iOS and Android.
Create drawings of chemical compounds, reactions, and more for publishing and searching SciFinder. Available through OIT's Software Distribution.To set up Search SciFinder, enter https://login.proxy.lib.utk.edu:443/login?url=https://scifinder.cas.org in the proxy settings.
If you often do your research from off-campus, you can add the proxy bookmarklet to your browser's bookmarks toolbar. In many cases the bookmarklet lets you log into the proxy (which will give you access to content that UT libraries pays for) without having to browse from the UT Libraries website.
