The Presentation of Chemical Information in Abstract Databases

Abstract

We discussed several issues related to the systematization of scientific publications in the field of chemistry and chemical technology that are contained in abstract databases such as the Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus, and the VINITI RAS Chemistry Database. Next we noted a rapid growth of interdisciplinary publications authored by chemists. We discussed the problems of information support in view of the intensifying interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary nature of research. Then we presented the results of an information search performed across several abstract databases for the main subject areas. In the end, we discussed an increase in the number of scientific publications in the field of chemistry and chemical technology, which has accelerated in recent years in comparison to other fields of science.
