Archive of supporting materials for American Chemical Society journals digitized

ACS Publications has completed comprehensive digitization of the Supporting Information for the ACS Legacy Archives journals collection.  This initiative extends online accessibility of the supporting information and data associated with the ACS Legacy Archives –– a collection of nearly half a million original research articles published in ACS journals between the years 1879 and 1995. The digitization effort has generated new Supporting Information files for 40,000 ACS original research articles, and in total comprises 800,000 pages of valuable data and underlying research information.

The recently digitized research  material is openly available to any visitor of the ACS Publications website and can be readily downloaded from the abstract page of any ACS Legacy Archive journal article that contains Supporting Information. The digital conversion of this additional Supporting Information enables easy access to tabular data, illustrations and diagrams, spectroscopic and crystallographic results, detailed experimental procedures, software programming code, biological test data, mathematical derivations and more.
