SciVerse a New Combined Search from Science Direct
Elsevier recently announced the development of a combined search and discovery platform, SciVerse, which will draw from ScienceDirect and the Scopus , Scirus and SciTopics databases to enrich your search results. Three new applications will come with the interface, all projected to go live this August 28th. According to the publisher, these aids are harbingers of more API's to come in 2011, from Elsevier and from third parties, to enhance SciVerse's usefulness. Developers will soon be able to build, adapt and share discovery tools tailored to the specific needs of researchers.
Applications being launched with SciVerse are:
- Methodology Section Search Application - enables searching a subsection of methodologies and procedures only
- Sentence-Matching - will display query terms in context of the sentences in which they appear
- Prolific Author Search - brings the topic's most relevant authors to the top of your results, with links to their Scopus citations
For a more detailed overview of how SciVerse can enhance scholarly research, please go to Elsevier’s SciVerse page at: http://www.hub.sciverse.com/action/home
