CHEM 1060H: General Chemistry Honors   Tags: chemistry, scifinder  

Research papers in Chemistry are written according to the rules of The ACS Style Guide. If you have never written a paper in this style before, the library has copies of the guide. Their call numbers are listed here:

The ACS Style Guide : Effective Communication of Scientific Information

Call Number: Ref QD8.5 .A25 2006

ISBN: 0841239991

The ACS Style Guide is located in the Reference Section (behind the Reference Desk, which is across from the library's main entrance). Part 1 describes the process of producing scientific articles. Part 2 explains the style guidelines for chemistry papers, including how to format the names and numbers of chemical compounds. Chapter 14 provides information on citing references in your paper. It cannot be checked out, but can be used anywhere inside the library.

When doing research in Chemistry, you'll often find yourself needing to use SciFinder Scholar.

To use SciFinder, you first need to create an account here. You'll need your UCCS username and password to start the process.

Please note that, as with any other UCCS database, if you want to use SciFinder from an off-campus computer you will need to be logged into the Library VPN (Transporter). If you have never used the VPN before, instructions on installation and use are available here.
