This is a cooperative encyclopedia of plant, animal, and microorganism species.

Science.gov searches over 36 databases and 1,850 selected websites, offering 200 million pages of authoritative U.S. government science information, including research and development results.

This online database contains abstracts and links to more than 13 million papers in the sciences, including physics, mathematics, biology, and more.

This database indexes seven primary journals, but it is far more useful than its limited scope might imply. The indexed journals are some of the most important titles in the field, such as the Auk, Condor and Wilson Bulletin. These are the journals that most professionals in the field are looking at. Each title is indexed back to the first issue, which for several titles means the late 19th century.

This new search engine can be used to find the answers to factual questions and can solve mathematical and engineering problems, look up materials and chemical properties, and much more.
