A complete list.
American Society of Civil Engineers: Civil Engineering Database (CEDB)
The CEDB Provides Access to over 97,000 Bibliographic and Abstracted Records. Coverage: 1956-
SciFinder [Registration Required, see below] (https://scifinder.cas.org/)
SciFinder is the most comprehensive bibliographic database for scholarly research in the field of chemistry. It contains over 29 million citations and indexes over 10,000 journals, covering all aspects of chemistry, including chemical aspects of: biology and life sciences, engineering and materials science, food science, geology, medicine, physics, and polymer science. SciFinder also allows searching of chemical substances, chemical reactions, and includes some property data and spectra. It is the online version of Chemical Abstracts. Cited Reference Searching: 1996 - present. Coverage: 1907 - present (with selected pre-1907 material).
