SciFinder
The provision of access
The application for the access was simplified. Until now each personal access should have been applied through the form. Afterward, the form was configured manually. Online registration invalidated this time-consuming procedure. For the online registration click the link down below and fill out the form:
Research interface
Since 2011 the access takes place exclusively with the help of the web browser. In doing so, the necessity to install and maintain the special Client software can be omitted. Through the newly added options for the Structure editor, the need to install java plugin can be eliminated as well.
