Discover the best places to find articles on chemistry, and other places to search for information.
Finding articles in the field of Chemistry can be done through the library databases listed on the Chemistry - Home page, however, there are also a ton of open access journals and databases that are useful for finding resources related to the field of Chemistry.
Directories of Open Access Journals:
ACS Central Science publishes the most compelling, important primary reports on research in chemistry and in allied fields, wherein chemical approaches play a key role. It is also the first fully open access journal published by the American Chemical Society.
ACS Omega is a new, open-access global publication for high quality original articles of any length that describe new findings in chemistry and interfacing areas of science, without any restrictive or subjective assessment of importance. Research articles in emerging multidisciplinary fields are especially encouraged.
This is a platinum Open Access Journal for Organic Chemistry - Free to Authors and Readers.
Beilstein-Institut offers access to both the Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry and the Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology.
This is an STM (Science, Technology and Medicine) publisher which has pioneered the open access publishing model. All original research articles published by BioMed Central are made freely and permanently accessible online immediately upon publication. BioMed Central views open access to research as essential in order to ensure the rapid and efficient communication of research findings.
This is a guide to data on chemical substances. Includes boiling and melting points, specific gravities, evaporation rates, vapor densities, water solubilities, and EPA codes. Also, includes molecular or structural images of the substances. Searching ChemBioFinder.Com is free but you need to register and login
Chemistry Central publishes high quality peer-reviewed open access research in chemistry. Chemistry Central is part of the BioMed Central group
This is a scientific literature digital library and search engine that focuses primarily on the literature in computer and information science. CiteSeerx aims to improve the dissemination of scientific literature and to provide improvements in functionality, usability, availability, cost, comprehensiveness, efficiency, and timeliness in the access of scientific and scholarly knowledge.
This is a vast, integrated network of electronic scientific and technical information created by scientists and research engineers active in their respective fields, all full-text searchable. E-print Network is intended for use by other scientists, engineers, and students at advanced levels.
DOE Scientific and Technical Information provides free public access to over 230,000 full-text documents and bibliographic citations of DOE research literature. The Information Bridge contains documents and citations in physics, chemistry, materials, biology, environmental sciences, energy technologies, engineering, computer and information science, renewable energy, and other topics of interest related to DOE's mission
The Free Medical Journals Site provides a list with links to free full text chemistry journals on the Internet.
"This 2483 compound database has been compiled by Harold M. Bell at Virginia Tech." - Provides physical data on a large number of organic compounds, including molecular weight, melting point, boiling point, index of refraction and UV absorption peaks.
PubChem provides information on the biological activities of small molecules. It is a component of NIH's (National Institute of Health) Molecular Libraries Roadmap Initiative. PubChem is organized as three linked databases within the NCBI's Entrez information retrieval system. These are PubChem Substance, PubChem Compound, and PubChem BioAssay. PubChem also provides a fast chemical structure similarity search tool.
