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

August 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.

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.

Collaboration is Key
• 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
• ScienceDirect and PANGAEA have implemented reciprocal linking between their respective content in earth system research.
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
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
PANGAEA Brings Data to ScienceDirect
New! ScienceDirect for iPhone!
SciVerse Scopus
What is Scopus?
The largest abstract and citation database of research literature and quality web sources.It provides users with comprehensive coverageof leading peer reviewed literature.
40 million records20 million cited records, 1996-present20 million back files, 1823-1995

New Perspective on Journal Metrics
SCImago Journal Rank – SJR
Source-Normalized Impact per Paper – SNIP
INTRODUCING TWO JOURNAL METRICS
Metrics to Support User Needs
http://www.info.scopus.com/News/content/latest
More on... SJR
SJR is a prestige metric – citations weighted depending on where they come from- A journal transfers its prestige by citing- Prestige transferred = journal’s SJR
e.g. Lancet SJR 2007 = 1.541 – high prestigee.g. Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports SJR 2007 = 0.153 – lower prestige
A journal’s prestige is shared equally between its citations
Life Sciences journal
• High impact, lots of citations• One citation = low value
Arts & Humanities journal
• Low impact, few of citations• One citation = high value
Normalize for differences in citation behaviour between subject fields
More on... SNIP
Calculate ‘Citation Potential’ for 2009
1. Collect papers citing 1-3 year old papers in target journal in 2009
2. Collect reference lists of citing papers
Etc.
3. Count number of references in citing papers to any (in any journal) 1-3 year old papers
Etc.
4. Citation Potential = average number of references to any 1-3 year old papers
SNIP = 2009 Impact / 2009 Citation Potential• Life Sciences – high impact, high Citation Potential• Arts & Humanities – low impact, low Citation Potential
Normalize for differences in citation behaviour between subject fields
Scopus API
Through the Scopus API, any website can incorporate
Scopus' powerful search capabilities, high quality citation
data and up-to-date citation counts.
Why is this Important?• Sourcing and providing accurate publication data efficiently.
• The very best repositories often miss 40% of their institute’s output.

Reaxys
• Designed by the chemists that brought you the CrossFire databases, Reaxys contains an extensive repository of experimentally validated data that chemists need including structures, reactions (including multi-step reactions) and physical properties.
• Chemists can get relevant data not found elsewhere - data drawn from source publications carefully selected for their importance and relevance to synthetic chemists.

Embase
• Embase contains over 20 million indexed records from more than 7,000 active, peer-reviewed journals.
• Holding over 2,000 biomedical titles not offered by Medline, Embase delivers comprehensive, authoritative, reliable coverage of the most relevant biomedical literature.
• Embase supports a global community of biomedical scientists, clinical and regulatory professionals and information professionals.
Linking Between Scopus and Embase
Engineering Village
• Engineering Village is a Web-based information service that offers a wide range of quality resources for information specialists, professionals, and researchers working in the applied science and engineering fields.
• All Compendex users on Engineering Village can see the Scopus Cited by count when viewing an abstract and link to the citation lists in Scopus.
• Designed to give Engineering Village users an indicator of scientific value for a particular article.
