The online version of Landolt Bornstein database that provides you physical and chemical data in materials science, such as : phase diagrams, crystal structure, super- and semi-conductivity, thermodynamic, magnetism, etc…
SciFinder-n This link opens in a new window
Scifinder-n provides an integrated information access to references, substances, reactions and suppliers in chemistry and related fields. It is embedded with PatentPak, Synthetic Methods and Retrosynthesis planning.
CAS Analytical Methods (formerly known as MethodsNow) This link opens in a new window
CAS Analytical Methods (formerly known as MethodsNow) is a single source for searching and comparing the latest published scientific methods. It features step-by-step instructions that you can take right to the lab in areas like pharmacology, HPLC, food analysis, natural product isolation analysis and water analysis. It is a curated collection of methods covering emerging science in both analytical and synthetic chemistry.
Formulus This link opens in a new window
Formulus® is a comprehensive formulations databases. It delivers the world's largest collection of formulations from journals, patents, and product inserts, and includes detailed supplier specifications and regulatory resources. Formulus enables scientists to understand a formulation’s effectiveness with quick access to the best information for active ingredients and excipients. Formulus helps formulators evaluate ingredients, find alternative suppliers, and explore regulatory requirements in one easy interface. The level of searchability allows users to wade through all the literature more effectively to get relevant information.

Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety’s Academic Support Program This link opens in a new window
This one-stop platform allows access to Safety Data Sheets from manufacturers and suppliers, information about the chemicals’ toxic effects, as well as other health and safety details.

ChemRxiv
ChemRxiv (pronounced 'chem-archive') is a free submission, distribution and archive service for unpublished preprints in chemistry and related areas. It gives researchers across a broad range of chemistry fields the opportunity to share early results with colleagues and respond to comments and recommendations for improvement, ahead of formal peer review and publication.

Scopus This link opens in a new window
Broad coverage of Scientific, Technical, Medical and Social Sciences literature, including Arts & Humanities. It indexes journals, conference proceedings, trade publications and quality web sources with links to full text for some records. Provides access to "Article-in-Press" from over 3,000 journals. Its "View Citation Overview" allows the tracking of citation data year by year
Web of Science This link opens in a new window
Multi-disciplinary database. It indexes scholarly journals in sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities, and examines proceedings of international conferences, symposia, seminars, colloquia, workshops, and conventions. It contains references cited by the authors of the articles and cited reference searching will find articles that cite a previously published work.
