SciFinder Discovery, an upgraded version of SciFinder-n and SciFinder, is the most comprehensive database and tool for discovering chemical information. It is developed by Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS). Its contents include journal articles, information on chemical structures, properties, reactions, analytical methods, formulas, and life science data. Users can search literature by topic, author, and search substances by name or CAS Registry Number, or drawing a chemical structure.
