Introducing the SciVerse Platform SciVerse ScienceDirect Updates SciVerse Hub & Applications Q&A

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

What is SciVerse?
Integrated Content & Discovery Tools Productivity-Enhancing Applications

August 28, 2010:

ScienceDirect and Scopus integrated on the SciVerse platform
SciVerse Platform SciVerse ScienceDirect SciVerse Scopus

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.

On August 28, 2010, SciVerse Hub was launched with three free Applications for all customers
SciVerse Hub Beta Preview of SciVerse 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.

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

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 NextBio

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

While viewing an article or book chapter on ScienceDirect, the keywords from that selected article or book chapter are matched against NextBios biomedical ontologies.

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 NextBio

On selecting a category and source, results can be further sorted and refined
