Science Research Indexes

[Mr. Chips]

I have long enjoyed PubMed, a biological sciences abstracts research service available here

PubMed: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/

I just came across the following site which is a searchable index of abstracts in general science.

Eurekalert: http://www.eurekalert.org/

Somewhere I saw a similar service for physics research. Any one know of that one or any others preferrably free, easy to use and current?

Note, if you are really wanting to learn some science get away from this forum.

Oh heck, here's a few more

Patents are very useful as well. They are very long and they tend to hide the pertinent information away in the middle of a bunch of crap, but once you figure out the pattern they are great.

Try scifinder? You have to load up the program to use it and site licenses cost money

google also has a google scholar you an try out

www.arxiv.org

If its been published in theoretical physics in the last decade, its on ArXiv.

http://www.slac.stanford.edu/spires/

SPIRES is a searchable database of ArXiv papers, including who cites who, how many times, what other work have they done (ie textbooks and pop science books are included) etc. The search function has its own weird syntax but its much more precise than ArXiv.

Another great resource I've learned about through one of my professors and have downloaded a lot is archive.org It's an internet archive of TONS of books and other things such as, movies, moving images, audio, and a machine where if you type in a link it will (most likely) have the history of that website. haha I just tried sciforums out on it. Man...this site has come a long way. Way to go James!!!

Very nice thread, I am glad I found this forum yesterday. Some of these I knew about, but others I didn't. I generally use an online series of academic databases through a university, but I won't always have access to that.

Great

thankyou
