PubMed is the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) search tool biomedical literature. It includes bibliographic information from the MEDLINE database, as well as from additional life science journals. PubMed also provides access and links to NCBI's integrated suite of molecular biology databases.

SciFinder provides access to the complete Chemical Abstracts database, 1907 to present, along with selected literature from earlier years. This database covers the world's literature of chemistry and related fields, and indexes a variety of materials, including journal articles, books, patents, technical reports, conference papers, and electronic resources. Explore by literature reference information, chemical name, structure or substructure, or reaction, among other methods.
