Database Name: CA - The Chemical Abstracts File for 1967-present Description: The CA File is a bibliographic database covering worldwide literature from all areas of chemistry, biochemistry, and chemical engineering from 1967 to the present. The records contain bibliographic information, in-depth substance and subject indexing, including CAS Registry Numbers (R), and abstracts, which are concise summaries of the major findings reported in the scientific literature. All abstracts published in printed Chemical Abstracts since 1970 (Volume 70, January 1970) are available online. In addition, a limited number of abstracts published prior to 1970 are also available. Patent abstracts comprise about 16% (over 1.9 million) of the records in the CA File. CAS roles are available for all indexed records. CAplus is a more recent and more comprehensive file than the CA File. CAplus contains all the records included in the CA File plus records for recent citations that have not yet been fully indexed. In addition, CAplus contains all articles from more than 1,350 key chemical journals since October 1994, including citations for document types not covered in the CA File such as letters to the editor or news announcements. CAplus is updated daily with new citations and weekly with indexing information. The LCA (Learning CA) File is a training database for learning how to use the CA and CAplus files. Subjects Covered: All areas of chemistry and chemical engineering. The major subdivisions are: Applied Chemistry and Chemical Engineering; Biochemistry; Macromolecular Chemistry; Organic Chemistry; and Physical, Inorganic, and Analytical Chemistry Agriculture; Allergies; Alloys; Analytical Chemistry; Anatomy; Applied Chemistry; Astronomy; Astrophysics; Atomic Physics; Behavioral Science; Biochemistry; Bioengineering; Biology; Biomedicine; Biophysics; Biopolymers; Biotechnology; Botany; Carcinogens; Catalysis; Cell Biology; Ceramics; Chemical Engineering; Chemistry; Computers; Corrosion; Crystallography; Earth Science; Electrochemistry; Electronics; Elementary Particles; Energy; Engineering; Environmental Science; Fabrics; Fiber Materials; Fluids; Fossil Fuels; Fractal Structures; Genetics; Geochemistry; Geology; Geosciences; Glass; Government Regulations and Compliance; Hazardous Waste Management; Health; High Energy Physics; Immunology; Inorganic Chemistry; Laboratory Methods; Lasers; Life Sciences; Macromolecular Chemistry; Magnetic Properties; Marine Biology; Materials Science; Medicine; Metallic Coatings; Metallurgy; Meteorology; Microbiology; Mineralogy; Molecular Physics; Natural Fuel; Neutron Interactions; Nuclear Energy; Nuclear Science; Nutrition; Oceanography; Optical Properties; Ores; Organic Chemistry; Organometallics; Paleontology; Patents; Pathology; Pest Control; Petrochemicals; Petrology; Pharmaceutical Chemicals; Pharmacology; Phase Transitions; Photography; Physical Chemistry; Physical Properties; Physics; Physiology; Plasma; Plastics; Polar Research; Pollution Control; Polymers; Psychiatry; Psychology; Quantum Mechanics; Radiation; Reaction Information; Renewable Energy; Rheology; Safety; Semiconductors; Solar Energy; Steels; Superconductors; Synthetic Fuels; Temperature-Dependent Properties; Textiles; Thermal Properties; Thermodynamic Properties; Thermodynamics; Toxicology; Tribology; Veterinary Science; Volcanology; Waste Management; Zoology Sources: Over 9,000 journals monitored; patents from 26 countries, EPO and WIPO; conference proceedings; technical reports; books; dissertations; reviews File Data: 1967 to date; mor than 13,059,170 records (10/96); updated every week with 14,000 citations; automatic current-awareness searches (SDI's) are run every 2 weeks; automatic crossfile current- awareness searches (SDI XFILE) using a Registry File search profile are available and are run weekly Language: English User Aids: The CA/CAOLD/CAplus Database Description; STNote 5: CAS Targeting your Searching with CAS Roles; STNote 7: Current awareness on STN; CA Index Guides; CA Headings List; CA Subject Coverage Manual; New and Revised CA Indexing Terms; CAS Standard Abbreviations; List of Key Journals in CAplus; CAS Roles Quick Reference Card; CAS Roles User Guide; Searching CASLINK Quick Reference Card; Polymer Information on STN - A Quick Reference Guide; Patent Information on STN - A Quick Reference Guide; Patent Information from CAS; Searching Abstract Text in the CA File; Searching for Polymer Information in CAS Files; STNGUIDE; online helps (HELP DIRECTORY lists all help messages available) Database Producer: Chemical Abstracts Service 2540 Olentangy River Road P.
