SciFinder-n contains scientific references from thousands of journals and dozens of patent offices, as well as from technical reports, professional books, conferences, and dissertations. Records are supplemented by citation maps (cited and citing references), legal status, and direct links to the full text (if available).

It also provides access to chemical compounds and reactions, including reaction schemes and detailed experimental procedures. The search also accounts for Markush structures.

The collection is updated daily (chemicals are updated weekly), and the retrospective often dates back to the 18th century.

SciFinder‑n uses authentication using institutional Single Sign‑On (SSO), i.e. a Palacký University institutional login using university data valid for the Portal UP.

Access is possible at https://scifinder-n.cas.org; enter your university email, select Access through Palacky University, and log in the same way as the Portal UP.
The link for remote access leads directly to the Palacký University institutional login.
