Academic researchers are just one click away from a wealth of Web-based chemistry and life science content.

DiscoveryGate® for Academics is the only service to integrate, index, and link content sources necessary for answering discovery questions—all from a single interface.

DiscoveryGate gives researchers access to more than 20 million chemical structures, 11 million reactions, and over 350 million associated calculated and reported properties. With DiscoveryGate for Academics, you have access to data on:

  • Bioactivity
  • Pharmacology
  • Metabolism
  • Toxicology
  • Physical property
  • Chemical sourcing facts
  • Material science
  • and MUCH more
The DiscoveryGate Advantage
More data, more effectively, to more people

DiscoveryGate provides a single, powerful, discovery environment. Answer essential research questions in one place.

Innovative features. Such as reaction linking allows you to link from a reaction in any database to similar reactions in other databases, and to examine reaction scopes, limitations and methodologies in authoritative reference works, all with just a click.

Easy to use. Point and click navigation and comprehensive structure and data querying, along with online help and tutorials to begin exploring immediately.

One-query access. One query gives immediate access to structures and data, as well as links to other powerful search and reference applications* so that you can get the most out of your online journal and database subscriptions.

Unlimited usage. With campus wide IP access researchers can search DiscoveryGate whenever they choose, as often as they like, with just a Web browser. DiscoveryGate supports both Windows XP and Macintosh OS X platforms. Stop paying for information that you can only provide to one or two users at a time.

A wealth of scientific content. DiscoveryGate gives you immediate access to compounds and related data, reactions, original journal articles and patents, and authoritative reference works on synthetic methodologies-all from a single entry point. Explore data from 17 of the most highly respected databases in chemistry. Selected content includes:

An Open and Integrated Discovery Environment. DiscoveryGate integrates data from Symyx, Elsevier and other highly respected vendors such as Thomson Derwent, Thomson ISI, Springer and more. Get both the content and the tools to interconnect it. Move from an "index view" that shows which databases contain relevant data, to actual details from those databases.

Leverage your full text subscriptions. DiscoveryGate automatically links citations to over 20,000 journal titles and patent archives. Use ®LinkFinderPlus to manage linking to your appropriate subscribed content, or configure DiscoveryGate for Academics to use your own linking system. LinkFinderPlus allows you to customize your full-text linking environment, link to local holdings and view usage reports per publisher and per journal.
