With the latest
ChemPort enhancement,
researchers can derive more value from the articles cited in
journal articles on the Web sites of participating publishers.
In addition to viewing a CAS record for the article or its
full text, users of the new CAS service can choose to see the
chemical substances discussed in the cited article and indexed
by CAS scientists or a list of the "citing" documents that
refer to the
article.
"We see this as a significant step
in extending the digital research environment," said Suzan A.
Brown, CAS Marketing Director. "ChemPort's new Enhanced
Reference Linking demonstrates the true synergism between
primary and secondary literature."
 Purchase by credit card or via STN
account
Enhanced Reference Linking includes
the option to pay for the additional information with
point-and-click convenience. After clicking on a linked
reference, the researcher sees a revised ChemPort Reference
Linking page with the option to view all of the substances
indexed by CAS scientists for the referenced document or a
list of documents citing that document. Users can purchase the
CAS information by credit card or via their STN
account.
