BenchSci, a relatively new site (launched July 2017), indexes antibody use in scientific
journals, including things like the techniques and tissues involved. It is
free, though an institutional email is necessary to sign up for an account; they would like for it to remain free to all
academic members. BenchSci is based out of Toronto.
BenchSci is still working with
publishers, including Cell Press, to index more content. However, it currently includes SpringerNature, and Wiley, among others, and include many Open
Access publications.
The following blurb is from BenchSci:
~~
BenchSci
is a free online platform designed to help scientists find antibodies from
publications. Their proprietary machine-learning algorithm was trained by
PhD-level scientists to identify and understand the usage of commercial
antibodies in the research literature.
When
searching for a specific protein target, BenchSci curates published data in the
form of figures to simplify the literature search process. The figures can then
be filtered by specific experimental contexts cited in the paper such as
techniques, tissue, cell lines, and more, to help users pinpoint antibodies
that have been published under experimental conditions matching their study
interest.
