      Researching, journals, professional testing.  Bookmark   

When I read posts in the higher forums, you are constantly discussing and requiring various references and journals. Some in other languages.

How does one gain access to a specific journal (or collection of..?) ?

Are there free journals?

Are there journals you pay to have access to?

Are there journals you need to have a specific academic accreditation to gain access to?

Are journals nicely organised and easy to retreive information from? (What do journals look like=)

What is required of a person to send a test sample to bee analysed using chromatographies and other advanced techniques requiring ultra-expensive equipment?


Actually now looking, the abbreviation page is amazing, someone has done such a beautiful job.
JCS Journal of the Royal Chemical Society.

      What journals look like  Bookmark   

Most journals are only available at University Libraries, but some are available online, and an even smaller portion is available online for free, see this thread for links: Post 363228 (Rhodium: "Free Online Chemistry & Medicinal Journals", Novel Discourse)

Are there journals you need to have a specific academic accreditation to gain access to?

Some journals are only available to Law Enforcement officials, like Journal of Clandestine Laboratory Investigating Chemists Association - This journal is somewhat of an holy grail to us, as you can see from the following abstracts: ../rhodium /clic.html

Are journals nicely organised and easy to retreive information from? (What do journals look like=)

Yes usually, they look like thick magazines, and the older volumes are usually bound into books of about 1000-2000 pages each.
