It is provided by <a href="https://www.cas.org" target="_blank">CAS</a> as a public service.</p> <p>The CASSI<sup>SM</sup> database contains a listing of publications indexed by CAS since 1907, including serial and non-serial scientific and technical publications. The database was last updated February 16, 2025.</p> <h2>Searching CASSI</h2> <p>You can find publication information in CASSI by searching publication title, abbreviation, CODEN, ISBN, or ISSN. Both substring and exact searching are possible. Search tips and more detailed descriptions of the various fields are available on the <a href="help.jsp">Help</a> page.</p> <p>Note that wildcard and Boolean searching are not supported and there is currently a limit of 100 display results per search.</p> <h2>Data Usage Guidelines</h2> <p>Please refer to the <a href="guidelines.jsp">Usage Guidelines</a> page for detailed information concerning copyright issues and acceptable and prohibited use of this site.</p> <h2>Beyond CASSI</h2> <p><b><a href="https://www.cas.org/sites/default/files/documents/beyond_cassi.pdf">Beyond CASSI</a></b> features journal title abbreviations from early chemical literature and other historical reference sources that may not be listed in the CASSI Search Tool. Marion Peters, UCLA Librarian Emeritus, compiled a list of such abbreviations. CAS would like to thank Ms. Peters for sharing this compilation to assist CASSI users in finding these important references and for her continued contributions to CASSI.</p> <h2>About CAS</h2> <p>CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society, is the most authoritative and comprehensive source for chemical information.
