STN announces STN AnaVist 2.0

STN AnaVist works with STN Express, version 8.2, to analyze content from STN, the online service for science and technology. Now, in addition to analyzing search results from the multidisciplinary CAplus database and the patent databases USPATFULL and PCTFULL, the new version of STN AnaVist analyzes content from DWPI, a database from Thomson Scientific that provides information on patent publications from the 41 most important patent-issuing authorities of the world.

STN AnaVist enhancements, version 2.0, enable users to take advantage of new clustering fields, including Technology Indicators, Exemplary/First Claim, All Claims, and International Patent Classification (IPC) Codes, and customize visualization using combinations of text fields. Users can create a variety of new bar charts based on DWPI Class, DWPI Manual Codes, Labels, and Patent Country Codes/Kind Codes. It also provides new document-highlighting features, enhanced document management, and enhanced views of the research landscape with new 2-D displays with white or black backgrounds.

STN is operated jointly by CAS and FIZ Karlsruhe worldwide and is represented in Japan by JAICI (Japan Association for International Chemical Information).
