English abstract

A review of the first hundred years of Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) shows its role and significance as: (i) a witness to the changes in international scientific leadership; (ii) a classical example of scientific documentation; (iii) a general catalogue of chemical molecules in our natural and artificial world; (iv) a close ally of chemical and pharmacological industries; and (v) a paradoxically unsettled agent at a crossroads of the digital world. The uncertain future of CAS also symbolizes the uncertainty that reigns in scientific communication nowadays.

Spanish abstract

Un repaso histórico por los cien años de Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) pone de relieve su significación como: (i) testigo del cambio en el liderazgo científico internacional; (ii) exponente clásico de la documentación científica; (iii) inventario general de las moléculas de nuestro mundo natural y artificial; (iv) estrecho aliado de la industria químico-farmacéutica; y (v) actor paradójicamente (des)colocado en la encrucijada del mundo digital. El futuro incierto de CAS también simboliza la incertidumbre reinante en materia de comunicación científica.
