1 From CrossFire to Reaxys: 10 Reasons to switch Elsevier Information Systems GmbH

2 10 reasons to switch from CrossFire to Reaxys CrossFire Reaxys 1 Software/Interface Client Server Application Intuitive, appealing web application 2 Content Beilstein, Gmelin, Patent Chemistry Database as separate databases, search results in separate windows No manual data matching/deduplication: One database merging all three CrossFire databases: Variations of the same reaction from different publications are merged to one reaction profile 3 Synthesis planner Not available Synthesis planner available 4 Data quality / standardization 5 Ease of use 6 Search menu 7 Result display 8 Installation Different data field names and value formats in each database for same substance property Functionality highly sophisticating, but training needed; feature-driven, e.g. group, sort All data fields offered, confusing variety of hundreds of data fields Default display: Data displayed in list form; tabular display formats only via export; creation of new exports efforts experience Client software installation (Commander) on each user PC 9 Operating systems Limited to Windows Operating Systems 10 Access CrossFire Direct (Elsevier-hosted) and CrossFire inhouse (customer-hosted) Standardized and harmonized data fields (same field names/units/formats); data for the same substance from different publications merged into one substance profile Very intuitive web interface, reduced training efforts; task-driven, e.g. filter, rank Context-related offering of search fields (substance-/reaction-/citation-related) Improved display: Comparative tabular data views No client installation on user PCs needed Browser based, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari runs on all operating systems where at least one of these is supported No maintenance efforts anymore as database is hosted by Elsevier 2

4 1. Intuitive, appealing web interface 4

5 2. A superior extensive reaction source: No manual data matching/deduplication anymore Variations of the same reaction, but from different publications merged into one reaction profile - From journal article - From patent publication 5

6 3. Synthesis planner to develop your own synthesis strategy Add reaction methods from different publications to create your own strategy 6

7 4. Large variety of data from different sources merged into a substance profile Measured spectral peaks e.g. NMR shifts 7

8 5. Intelligent hit set ranking & filtering to find the most relevant hits fast Sort by: - Reaxys-Ranking: Best described reaction - Yield: Highest-yield-reaction + - Product commercially available link to supplier info Multiple filter criteria 8

9 6. Easy-to-use: Context-related offering of search fields Search: - Reactions - Substances and properties - Text, authors and more 9

10 7. Data in comparative tabular overviews 10
