Evolution of Reaxys (Beilstein and Gmelin database) The Gmelin database is a large database of organometallic and inorganic compounds updated quarterly. It is based on the German publication Gmelins Handbuch der anorganischen Chemie ("Gmelin's handbook of inorganic chemistry") which was originally published by Leopold Gmelin in 1817;[1] the last print edition, the 8th, appeared in the 1990s. The Beilstein database is the largest database in the field of organic chemistry, in which compounds are uniquely identified by their Beilstein Registry Number. The database covers the scientific literature from 1771 to the present and contains experimentally validated information on millions of chemical reactions and substances from original scientific publications. The electronic database was originally created from Beilstein's Handbook of Organic Chemistry, founded by Friedrich Konrad Beilstein in 1881 The database currently contains every compound/reaction discovered between 1772 and 1995,

Impact Factors. IFs are important for us when we publish…. Aren’t they also important for what is in databases and what we search?
