Terms of Use
Because UConn holds a license to
Beilstein CrossFire, users can see summaries of compounds and reaction information in Scopus for any article that is also indexed in Beilstein Crossfire.
Using the Papers application from Mekentosj to search Scopus? Papers should prompt you for the Scopus ID (36298) when you do a Scopus search. If it doesn't, or if you need to change it, it go to Preferences, Plugins, Search Engines. Also, Papers can also be configured to use our off campus authentication system (EZproxy), so you might want to add http://ezproxy.lib.uconn.edu/login?url=%@ in the "library proxy" box under "Preferences, Sources".
