Informationen zum Autor Professor Damon D Ridley Professor Ridley is recognized as one of the leading exponents in the field of chemical information retrieval using SciFinder. He is the author of Exploring SciFinder (Booknet Co Ltd, 2004), Information Retrieval: SciFinder and SciFinder Scholar (Wiley, 2002), and Online Searching: A Scientist's Perspective (Wiley, 1996), and over 50 scientific publications in the area. He has given well over 1000 presentations, workshops and demonstrations in the subject worldwide over the last 24 years. Klappentext SciFinder(r) is rapidly becoming a preferred means to access scientific information in industry and universities worldwide. It accesses databases which span the chemical, engineering, life, medical, and physical sciences, including five Chemical Abstract Service databases and the National Library of Medicine bibliographic database Medline(r). No other single information access tool has such breadth of coverage for scientific journal and patent documents.Information Retrieval: SciFinder(r), 2nd Edition is an essential guide explaining how to get the best out of SciFinder. It discusses the 50+ options in SciFinder(r) including topic, bibliographic, and chemical substance explore options, and post-processing options Analyze, Refine, and Categorize. The book:* Summarises the databases and explains how to take advantage of the unique search and analysis options* Explains selected algorithms behind the operation of SciFinder(r) and why it helps to understand them* Discusses why it is important, and how to apply scientific method to information retrieval* Describes how to search for chemical structures and chemical reactionsThis second edition of Information Retrieval: SciFinder(r) has been fully revised and updated to incorporate the latest functionality and content of SciFinder(r). Written by a scientist for scientists, this book will increase your research creativity and productivity and is an essential resource for anyone needing scientific information in academia or industry. Zusammenfassung SciFinder(R) is rapidly becoming the preferred means of accessing scientific information in industry and universities worldwide. This fully revised edition of the only companion guide to SciFindergives practical advice on maximizing one's effectiveness with SciFinder.
