I've just found a new author of interest, so looked them up on WOK, but the vast majority of their papers for the last 10 years are listed as "ABSTRACTS of Papers of the American Chemical Society". I've come across this before, but ignored it. Can't afford to with this one - are these full journal papers and if so where are they???

Yes, one of the biggest chemistry journals.

It's okay - the answer is that they're NOT full papers but meeting abstracts. Couldn't find them when searching on the site so I looked a bit more closely at the WOK results. Disappointed though :(
