Q. How can I do a chemical structure search in Web of Science?

1. Your computer must have Java installed and enabled.
2. Go to Web of Science through our website.
3. At the top of the screen next to the orange Search arrow, there is a dropdown menu labeled “All Databases.” Open this and select “Web of Science Core Collection.”
4. Midway down the page, there is a dropdown called “More Settings.” Expand this. Check the boxes next to Current Chemical Reactions and Index Chemicus. Uncheck the box next to Science Citation Index.
5. Above the search box in the middle of the page, there is a dropdown labeled “Basic Search.” When you open it, “Structure Search” is one of the options.
