Publications can be associated with a chemical record on ChemSpider via
a DOI or PubMed ID. Alternatively, the data can be input directly into the input screen

retrieve those articles with cholesterol in the title and abstract rather than the
many tens of thousands of articles likely mentioning cholesterol in the body
of the article. A similar approach has been taken to integrate to Google
Scholar. This approach has been shown to be an effective manner to perform
such an integration but is not without problems, especially when chemical
compounds have trade names that have been validated but, unfortunately, are
common English language words. Examples are “Advantage” for the chemical
imidacloprid [84] that will return a number of false articles. Such issues are
few and far between, however, and the approach does provide value and
encourages participation of the community to continue to assist in the valida-
tion of chemical identifi ers.
The approach of integrating to APIs on various websites to search
validated
chemical identifi ers (systematic names, trivial names, registry numbers, etc.)
using a text query provides access to fast and effi cient searches providing
direct links to the relevant data contained in the various databases. A chemist
can now draw a structure on ChemSpider and retrieve books, articles, and
patents served up by the world's most well known search engine in just a
couple of seconds by performing searches against Google Scholar, Google
Patents, and Google Books. Most importantly the access to all of these data
is free.
