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.

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

Three embedded applications for all users that include: 1. Methodology section search application for full- text articles
2. Sentence matching application efficiently assesses search results and displays query words in the full sentences where they appear
3. Prolific author search application finds the most “prolific authors” publishing articles about search terms, linking into articles by that author within Scopus.
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
