Literature searches for compounds and reactions can be challenging and time-consuming. To address this issue, we partnered with MDL to develop Chemical Structure Summaries that link Scopus and Beilstein. With over 500,000 records synchronized, users can efficiently find related compounds, reactions, and documents. This feature is available at no extra charge with a licensed Scopus and Beilstein from MDL, allowing seamless access between systems without requiring additional logins. Users appreciate the streamlined process that enhances their research effectiveness.

Chemical Structure Summaries • Users told us that: • When starting a literature search it is difficult to find factual information on compounds/reactions • When starting a structure search it is difficult to find a distinct set of relevant articles • Therefore we collaborated with sister company MDL to bridge the gap • We have built chemical structure summaries for records common to both Scopus and Beilstein • Just over 500,000 records are a match
Finding Other Relevant Documents Or a user can decide to go back to the literature (Scopus) and view all documents in Scopus with this compound.
Chemical Structure Summaries • This feature is available if you have licensed Scopus AND Beilstein from MDL on either: • Crossfire Commander, or, • DiscoveryGate • No additional charge for the summaries that link the systems • Links are activated automatically with no action required by you or the user • Users move between the services without having to enter a different password
What Do Librarians Say? • “It's important to have a product that does one thing very well, not a product that does everything a little bit. Let Scopus focus on the citations, and let Crossfire do the structure searching, and create handover points. It is also important that the user knows where s/he is at any time.”
What Do Users Say? • “Normally these are separate steps, supported by separate systems” • “Useful to see what a paper describes without going through the text” • “Excellent combination of reading a paper and thinking about synthesis”
