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

m• 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
• Scopus Enhanced Affiliation Profile allows Administrators to inform and update Scopus profiling so that there is a clear hierarchy of relationships between profiles

eta • 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.

ScienceDirect Enhancements
• 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.
The Challenge
• While most scientific information on genes, pathways, diseases, tissues and compounds is available online, it resides in various, disconnected, locations.
• As a result, researchers must spend valuable time locating key information and searching and refining the data to quickly get up to speed on new and related subject areas, or dive further and learn more about their field.

Smart Content Through Collaboration
• ScienceDirect collaborates with 3rd party providers to further accelerate research
• Partnership with NextBio has enhanced ScienceDirect content in the fields of life sciences, health sciences and chemistry
• Integration of REFLECT data.
• ScienceDirect and PANGAEA have implemented reciprocal linking between their respective content in earth system research.
What is NextBio?
NextBio provides a platform for researchers to search, discover, and share
knowledge across public
and proprietary data.
The semantic framework is based on gene, tissue, disease and compound
ontologies.
This framework contains information from multiple
resources that is integrated into and correlated within a
single searchable environment using proprietary
algorithms.
The NextBio platform connects highly
heterogeneous data and textual information in the
fields of life sciences, health sciences and
chemistry.
What is PANGAEA?
• Publishing Network for Geoscientific & Environmental Data
• Information system that is aimed at archiving, publishing and distributing georeferenced data from earth system research• Now, each article on ScienceDirect with a corresponding data set in PANGAEA displays a prominent link directly to that data.
• This puts the data into context with the primary literature, and greatly increases its discoverability by embedding it at the right point in the knowledge discovery process.
Science Direct App
Researchers are able to:
• Access all the full text SciVerse ScienceDirect content.
• Search for ScienceDirect articles (by Keyword, Author or Journal).
• Save articles for offline viewing.
• Share articles with colleagues via email.
New! ScienceDirect for iPhone!
