SciFinder This link opens in a new window
SciFinder, from American Chemical Society, is the search interface to the Chemical Abstracts and MEDLINE databases. It provides subject coverage that includes the chemical aspects of astronomy, biology, education, engineering, economics, geology, history, mathematics, medicine, and physics. Please note, access is limited to current UMassD students, faculty, and staff. You can register for an account here. If you would like access to ScFinder and are not a student or university employee, please contact librarians in Research and Information Literacy Services.
Web of Science (Clarivate) This link opens in a new window
This database includes citations, abstracts, some full-text of scholarly journal articles, book chapters, conference proceedings in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities. This is particularly useful to do cited reference searching or running citation reports for individual authors.

Additional web resources that contain preprints, e-prints, open access articles, and abstracts:

arXiv
"arXiv is a free distribution service and an open-access archive for 1,702,849 scholarly articles in the fields of physics, mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, statistics, electrical engineering and systems science, and economics. Materials on this site are not peer-reviewed by arXiv."
Astrophysics Data System
"The SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is a digital library portal for researchers in astronomy and physics, operated by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) under a NASA grant. The ADS maintains three bibliographic collections containing more than 15 million records covering publications in astronomy and astrophysics, physics, and general science, including all arXiv e-prints. Abstracts and full-text of major astronomy and physics publications are indexed and searchable through the new ADS modern search form as well as a classic search form. A browsable paper form is also available."
Mathematical Physics Preprint Archive
"mp_arc is an electronic archive for research papers in Mathematical Physics and related areas."
CERN Document Server
"Access articles, reports and multimedia content in HEP"
