Abstrakt

Pålidelig og gyldig information om brug og virkning af kemiske stoffer er en vigtig faktor indenfor industri og ikke mindst miljølovgivning. Identifikationsdata fra fortegnelser over stoffer fører sommetider til ukomplette bibliografiske analyser i de store kemiske databaser. Dette studie vil som udgangspunkt undersøge forekomst af udvalgte stoffer i de fire databaser: SciFinder, Web of Science (WoS), Scopus and Google Scholar. Måden kemiske data er registreret i databaserne spiller en stor rolle for genfinding, men forskelle i dækningsgrad, undertiden stor, er ofte til stede. Ingen enkelt database registrerer alle publikationer om et givet stof. De enkelte titler må vurderes for at opnå en komplet optælling af referencer. Særlig omhu er udvist når data for forskellige databaser sammenlignes, idet de samme tidsskrifter samt tidsperioder (2000-2009) benyttes. Nomenklatur og problemer relateret til kemisk struktur og funktion, som ofte forekommer i kvantitative eller kvalitative studier af kemiske stoffer, vil blive diskuteret. Den praktiske betydning for registrering af kemiske stoffer i de forskellige databaser bliver belyst
