SciFinder

SciFinder gives you instant access to the world's largest curated collection of information on disclosed chemistry and related research produced by CAS. SciFinder allows you to search Chemical Abstracts & MEDLINE by author and topic.

The University of Iowa now has access to this index through two interfaces, SciFinder and SciFinder-n.

Registration is required before the first use. If you have already registered for SciFinder, your username and password will work for either one.

SciFinder is available to University of Iowa faculty, staff & students only.

SciFinder Registration
If this is your first time using SciFinder, you must register for an account. You must be on campus and use your University of Iowa email address (@uiowa.edu) to register. After you submit your registration form, CAS will send you an e-mail with instructions for completing the registration process. This email should arrive within 30 minutes, if not, check your spam folder.

If attempting to register while off campus the University VPN is required for registration. Instructions found in the Off Campus SciFinder-n Registration document below
Access SciFinder-n
This interface has just become available. It has a more modern architecture so it allows more flexible searching, has relevancy ranking, and better functionality via mobile devices. It also has no system limits, renders structures in standard conventions and allows you to combine reference and structure searches. It includes these new tools: PatentPak, MethodsNow and Retrosynthesis Plan.
