ScienceDirect to become SciVerse

News from Elsevier:

"Elsevier is integrating the world's most trusted scientific content from ScienceDirect and Scopus into a single platform with productivity-driving enhancements. Learn how you can leverage this powerful tool to accelerate your research.

In August, ScienceDirect, Scopus and the targeted web content from Scirus will be integrated within one platform - SciVerse. SciVerse will combine trusted content with an expanding universe of tools that accelerate search and discovery. Over time, SciVerse will form the core of an ecosystem in which researchers and librarians work with publishers and developers to build collections of applications targeted to the specific interests and workflows of researchers, increasing the value you derive from your subscribed content.

See what's coming - Our four minute video provides an overview of the next release of your Elsevier subscribed products.

As our Accelerating Science video explains, the August release of SciVerse will:

* Deliver de-duplicated results from a single search across your licensed ScienceDirect, Scopus and Scirus products
* Feature three free applications to enhance search and discovery, including one that allows you to search only the methods/experimental procedures sections of the articles in ScienceDirect

Over subsequent releases, SciVerse will:

* Give you access to content APIs that allow you and other members of the scientific community to develop applications
* Enable researchers to establish a trusted social network of colleagues that will help them filter information
