What is SciVerse?

What is SciVerse?

SciVerse empowers the research community to accelerate science by opening ScienceDirect & Scopus content APIs for third-party application development,

enabling intelligent search and discovery across integrated content from ScienceDirect, Scopus, and the scientific web

mAugust 28, 2010: ScienceDirect and Scopus integrated on the SciVerse platform

• Single log-in provides access to all licensed and free SciVerse products – Hub, ScienceDirect, and Scopus.

• Increased interoperability and easier navigation between solutions

• Image Search for full-text articles and books (e.g. photos, tables, videos)

• Integration of REFLECT, the 2009 Grand Challenge winner, offers contextual information on proteins, genes and small molecules within articles.

• Reference Work Helper links to relevant reference works on ScienceDirect directly connected to a selected article

• Author Evaluation tool visualizes author data to aid collaboration or individual assessment decisions

• Citation Tracker: it is now possible to download citations from 20,000 records at one time, and increase from 5,000.

Hub

Bet

aOn November 13th, SciVerse Application Gallery Beta was launched with 13 free applications

• One search across a single index of ScienceDirect, Scopus, and web content

• Three embedded applications for all users that include:

• Methodology section search application

for full text articles• Sentence matching application efficiently

assesses search results and displays query words in the full sentences where they appear

• Prolific author search application finds the most “prolific authors” publishing articles about search terms, linking into articles by that author within Scopus.

• The Table Download application scans a ScienceDirect article for HTML data tables in the full text. The tables can be downloaded to a CSV file suitable for importing into Excel or similar software.

SciVerse Hub and SciVerse Applications

The New SciVerse Hub features one search...

Applications include:1.My WorkFlow Search

2. Methodology section search application for full- text articles3. Top 25 Hottest Articles

More Applications Can be Found in the Application Gallery

Libraries can become focal point for applications

Openness and Interoperability

Access to APIs and creating an ecosystem that brings together core base of users

and tools to build applications

SciVerse ScienceDirect

ScienceDirect

• ScienceDirect is Elsevier’s extensive and unique full text database that covers authoritative titles from the core scientific literature.

• More than nine million full-text articles from 2,500 journals and 11,000 books are available in ScienceDirect, making up 25% of the world’s STM literature.

You can access ScienceDirect by…

1. Through your library’s webpage, under Databases

2. Go to www.sciencedirect.com

3. Linking from the SciVerse Hub

ScienceDirect Updates:

• Image Search for full-text articles and books (e.g. photos, tables, videos)

• Integration of REFLECT, the 2009 Grand Challenge winner, offers contextual information on proteins, genes and small molecules within articles.

• Reference Work Helper links to relevant reference works on ScienceDirect directly connected to a selected article

Collaboration is Key

• Another update recently made to ScienceDirect (independently of the SciVerse launch) is the partnership with NextBio.

• This has enhanced ScienceDirect content in the fields of life sciences, health sciences and chemistry

Content with NextBio Functionality

… Enriched ScienceDirect content in the fields of:

Life Sciences

Health Sciences

Chemistry

… Journals, Book Series, Handbooks, and eBooks

… 1995 to present

Using ScienceDirect with NextBioWhile viewing an article or book chapter on ScienceDirect, the keywords from that selected article or book chapter are matched against NextBio’s biomedical ontologies.

Directly on the article page, researchers will find the NextBio application which presents key terms found in the selected article or book chapter.

Using ScienceDirect with NextBio

The in-context pop-up allows the researcher to quickly gain an overview of the article from the perspective of their chosen term, and to quickly link through to other information.

Using ScienceDirect with NextBio

Clicking within the NextBio application box allow for further exploration of the subject based on the trustworthy and publicly available sources collected and compiled by NextBio.

Using ScienceDirect with NextBioOn selecting a category and source, results can be further sorted and refined
