Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), a division of the American Chemical Society, is the world’s authority for chemical information. CAS is the only organization in the world whose objective is to find, collect and organize all publicly disclosed chemical substance information. A team of scientists worldwide curates and controls the quality of our databases, which are recognized as the most comprehensive and authoritative by chemical and pharmaceutical companies, universities, government organizations and patent offices around the world. By combining these databases with advanced search and analysis technologies (SciFinder® and STN®), CAS delivers the most current, complete, secure and interlinked digital information environment for scientific discovery.

13. Chemisches Zentralblatt
• Founded in 1830 to abstract chemistry-
related literature
• Published from 1830-1969
• Predates the introduction of Chemical
Abstracts by almost 80 years
• The only abstract journal until 1907
• Chronicles the birth of chemistry as a
science
– Before 1800, chemistry was more
alchemy (i.e. how to turn lead into gold)
than actual science
