How to... Analyze Reaction Answer Sets
Web Version of SciFinder
Analyze is one of the many SciFinder tools that allow you to explore, evaluate, and review your reaction answer sets. Analyzing helps you get different views of your answer set based on, for example, author or organization, catalyst or solvent, or other reaction characteristics.
|

|
When reactions are displayed in your main SciFinder window, an analysis of your answer set appears in the right sidebar.
Analyze by Catalyst is the default, and the first 10 analysis bars are displayed. Each bar represents a subset of the answer set.
For answer sets with more than 1,000 answers, a sample analysis is initially performed. If you wish to conduct a full analysis, click Full Analysis. |
|
(Optional) To change the analysis category, select another option from the drop-down menu and click Apply. |

To filter your answer set to just one subset, click on an analysis bar.
A filtered answer set displays in the main SciFinder window. The answer set is unchanged. All answers that do not meet the specified analysis criteria are removed from the display only.
In the Analysis sidebar, a second shading color indicates the answers associated with the analysis, as compared to the preliminary analysis. |
