  1. About ChemPort Reference Linking

    The ChemPort Reference Linking Service provides scientists and information professionals with the full bibliographic information and abstracts for citations found in electronic full-text articles. With ChemPort Reference Linking, you can link from a citation within an e-journal to view its title, authors, source, and abstract. You can also purchase additional information indexed by CAS® scientists.

    The ChemPort Reference Linking Service is provided free of charge through a collaboration of scientific journal publishers: Chemical Abstracts Service®, FIZ-Karlsruhe, and the Japan Association for International Chemical Information (JAICI).

  2. How does ChemPort Reference Linking work?

    At participating publisher web sites, [ChemPort] links appear with citations that are available through ChemPort Reference Linking. Click the [ChemPort] link to view the bibliographic information and abstract for a citation of interest.

  3. Participating Publishers

    The ChemPort Reference Linking Service is available via electronic journal articles of many participating scientific publishers. The initial service includes ACS Publications, Springer-Verlag, American Institute of Physics, Academic Press/IDEAL, The Royal Society of Chemistry, Institute of Physics, International Union of Crystallography, and selected publishers from CatchWord.

Although ChemPort Reference Linking is free of charge, users must make their own arrangements with publishers for access to electronic full-text documents.
