The Analysis Edition of STN Express with Discover! (Version 8.01c for Windows®)

The Analysis Edition lets you search, analyze, visualize, and discover the world of sci-tech information through:

Enhanced results analysis

• Create a table for substance analysis that identifies the common substructure for an answer set of structurally related substances, including multi-component substances from REGISTRY with variable R-group locations identified using the Variable Group Analysis Table Tool (enhanced in v 8.01: better definition of the common structure, fewer "no match" structures in the table, and more accurate representation of bonding to R-groups)
• Group related author/inventor names and company names for better analysis and visualization results using the Data Group Tool within the Analyze Plus Wizard
• Analyze and tabulate data from single- or multi-file search results, and create a data table and 3-D chart using the Analyze Wizard
• Save an answer set from databases such as CAplus^SM, PCTFULL, and USPATFULL with the Save for STN AnaVist Wizard, and then import and open it in STN^® AnaVist^™, our new interactive analysis and visualization software
• New in v 8.2: Retrieve full-text patent documents and send them to STN Viewer for management and in-depth evaluation
  

Increased security

• Encrypt the information you send over the Internet with embedded software that uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm, provided by RSA Security Inc., with 128-bit encryption keys
• Encrypt the information you send over the Internet by connecting to STN through a Secured Socket Layer Virtual Private Network (SSL VPN) during your session.

Easier access to content

• Create an interactive spreadsheet from all or only hit CAS Registry Numbers and their corresponding CAS Roles through the CAS Registry Number® and Role Report Wizard
• Upload lengthy genetic sequences automatically for searching in DGENE and PCTGEN via the Upload Query Wizard

Improved post-processing

• Merge family members into a single row in the Table Tool, allowing the specified number of Patent/Priority/Application Numbers (if selected) to appear listed in the same cell for records with more than one Patent, Priority, or Application entry.
