Why should you cite your sources?

Be sure to use the citation style given to you in class to be used with your reports.
SciFinder is a means of accessing the Chemical Abstracts database using a powerful and intuitive search engine to easily find references to articles and patents. Search for chemical data using a molecular formula, chemical name, chemical structure, reaction components, author name, or topic of interest. Coverage is primarily from 1907 to present and the database is updated daily.
CAS SciFinder-n is the latest scientific information solution from CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society. In addition to the reference, substance, reaction and supplier content found in CAS SciFinder®, CAS SciFinder-n includes relevance-ranked results, step-by-step procedures and protocols, citation mapping, biosequence searching, retrosynthetic analysis, patent landscape mapping, touch-screen enabled structure drawing and much more—all accessible in a simple, easy-to-use interface.
Engineering Village is made up of two databases: Compendex, covering all engineering disciplines from 1884 to the present, and INSPEC, focused on physics, electrical engineering, computer science, electronics, and materials covering from 1896 to the present.
