Now JAICI serves as a platform for science and technology not only in chemistry, but in a wide range of disciplines to meet the needs of R&D professionals. “Information Big Bang” – in the age of information, we are deluged by ever-growing waves of updated science and technology information pouring in from every corner of the world. The key to navigating R&D and intellectual property management in this sea of information is to get the information on your side – or select and use the most relevant information precisely and efficiently – so that you can dominate the creation of new knowledge and the expansion of corporate value. Finding the most relevant information from the astronomical amount of science and technology information is no longer something an individual can do alone. This is where the secondary information database comes to play an important role. Yet databases are worthless unless they can quickly deliver the right information to the right searcher. Databases must allow users to reach the exact information of interest, comprehensively analyze retrieved information, and collect, process, and accumulate information in easy-to-use forms. As a central portal to scientific information with the mission of “contributing to the advancement of science and technology in Japan and the rest of the world,” JAICI has provided high-quality database services for science in Japan, especially in the fields of chemistry. In addition to providing an integrated database search tool, STN, and CAS SciFindern for researchers, we deliver maximum support for users through workshops and help desk services. We also offer a variety of fact databases such as for crystal structures and mass spectra, as well as software such as for drug discovery and crystal structure analysis. Furthermore, based on our accumulated experience, we provide IP search and analysis services in the fields of medicine, chemistry, and biology, technical terms dictionary with thesaurus, and highly accurate machine translation adapted to chemical substance names. Our Mission The Year 2021 marks the 50th anniversary of JAICI establishment and we are proud of ourselves for having provided customers with many kinds of services during this period. Contribute to the Advancement of Science and Technology in Japan And JAICI will keep reforming in order to contribute much more to the advancement of and the Rest of the World as a Portal to Chemical Information science and technology by providing genuinely useful, viable solutions for those who are even more active and demanding in wide-ranging areas.
