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

“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.”
