As a not-for-profit organisation, we use our publishing programme to support scientists, researchers and students with high quality, internationally respected resources that span the breadth of our subject.
Browse the tabs below to discover just four of the ways we can make a difference to your research.
Discover The Merck Index* Online
The Merck Index Online can support you from the moment you start your work. Its broad scope means that it contains complete information for even the most specialist of subjects, and can be relied upon to return the most relevant results every time. Each monograph filters and condenses possibly thousands of literature search results into a brief description referencing the most important papers.
First things first:
- Introduce yourself to the database and its coverage
- Try searching for a molecular formula (such as gluten or thiamine)
- Browse the full list of monographs or named reactions by first letter
- Have a look at the reference tables of general chemical conventions and terms
Now watch the database in action

Discover MarinLit
A unique database dedicated to the complete marine natural products (MNP) literature.
Highly specialist Designed specifically for MNP chemists, the database allows access to over 27,000 compounds and 28,000 articles, all expertly curated and regularly updated.
A powerful dereplication tool Isolating compounds is a time-consuming process. MarinLit’s unique dereplication features (based on experimental and predicted data) significantly reduce the risk of isolating the same compound twice.
In-depth search features The ability to retrieve information in at least 6 different ways means that researchers can build a comprehensive picture of data, effectively prioritise their samples and work on the ones with most potential.

Discover the Journals Archive
This digital archive contains more than 166 years of research – research that is still shaping the chemical sciences today.
Far-reaching coverage The archive is a comprehensive source of historic information in every key chemical science subject, from materials chemistry to nanoscience.
Time-saving Using this archive, researchers can search everything we’ve published in our journals between 1841 and 2007. That’s 260,000 highly cited articles from top titles including ChemComm, Dalton Transactions and PCCP .
Accurate and easy to use With reference linking in articles after 1990 and an easily searchable format, the archive makes it simple to reliably source and cite original papers to support ongoing research.
