All:
We are looking at various literature search tools as alternatives to the publically available PubMed. I would be very appreciative if members of PharmPK could share their experiences - identifying the literature search tool, pros, cons, recommendations and other thoughts. Likewise, if you could advise regarding your document delivery service.
With much thanks,
Regards, Michael

[I'm using Papers (for Mac) that includes searching multiple databases, including Google Scholar. There are also iPhone/iPad versions (for additions during lectures or from poster presentations). The latest Endnotes does much the same. Both now include facilities for adding pdf versions of the papers found when access if available. BTW, I updated the archives yesterday - db]

Chemical Abstracts is the most compahensive catologue of published work you can find, but it is not available to public for free you have to subscribe (it covers chemistry, analytical, clinical non clinical and phar/tox aspects of any chemical). Pubmed most of the time limits its publications to any work relating to clinical consequence/relavence.
Chemical abstracts, analytical abstracts and pubmed are peer reviewed and you can trust the authensity once you find a work cited in these sites. em Another source of search is surprisingly "google", but I use any material found in google with caution when I am using it for NDA or INDA work.

Hi,
CA is indeed comprehensive, but at times a bit tiring to have to go searching for the paper later on. I use Pubmed, ScienceDirect and google. When i'm looking for something of more biochemical I go to one of the papers like jcb or such and there the search usually extends to several different journals.
There's also Scirus, but I find it a bit overwhelming.
For referencing I use Mendeley (it's free) and I think there's a limited search facility also. Hope this helps

Scirus is very comprehensive and comes with a good set of tools to
refine searches. It also covers a wide range of disciplines. Scopus web
results are powered by Scirus. Scirus is free.
Best regards,
