SCIVERSE?
SCIVERSE
ScienceDirect– Elsevier’s online full text portal with 11 million full text
articles from 2000+ journals as well as thousands of books
Scopus– World’s largest abstract and citation database with 40
million abstracts, millions of author and affiliation profiles and reference and citation data.
Hub– Comprehensive search covering ScienceDirect, Scopus and
the Scirus scientific web index covering 400 million records from patents databases, arXiv, lab pages, news and more.
SCIVERSE APPLICATIONS
open, interoperable, domain specific

WORKFLOW TOOLS
• Document Management– eReader Formats– Send To Kindle– Send to DropBox– AmmoRack
• Data Extraction/Manipulation– Table Downloader– Large Image Viewer– Image Data Extractor
• Awareness– MostDownloaded– Journal Minder (in development)
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
• Literature and data want to be together– Mass of data available to researchers outside
the formal literature is huge and growing– This is inefficient - task switching between
multiple interfaces, hard to find resources...– Smart apps can facilitate interoperability,
bring relevant data into context with papers
(Researchers, N = 3824 ; study by Publishing Research Consortium, 2010)
High importance but noteasily accessible
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
• Customers expect the tools they use to work together– Google Gmail on your Apple iPhone synced to
your Dell laptop running Microsoft Windows– SciVerse is one tool among many our users are
using and our customers are subscribing to– APIs and an open platform brings SciVerse to
where users are and lets other products add value to SciVerse
ADDED VALUE
“bX is already available on the eLibrary, and is proving very useful in presenting users with highly relevant material beyond what they find through their own searches. Adding bX to SciVerse will bring added value to those systems too.“Gill McDonald – Librarian, Cardiff University
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
• Domain specificity is the future of research tools– The current one-size-fits-all model of
publishing is print-centric and needlessly constricting
– Publishers/database providers cannot build tools for every single scientific discipline
– An open platform is the obvious solution – let the research community build the tools they need
“THIS IS A MEDIEVAL WAY OF COMMUNICATING
INFORMATION. WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER TO CHANGE THIS. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE
WE CAN DO.”

& Context
Since each pane can be scrolled independently, it is possible to have both the text and an image in view at once
Background:We noticed that very often, when the image and related text do not fit the same page, scientists have two PDFs open on their screen (or on two different screens) at the same time. These allow scientists to simultaneously view the image and read the explanatory text

Crosshairs are most commonly represented as intersecting lines in the shape of a cross ("+"). Using the “crosshairs” functionality, the reader can get access to the
underlying data at any location on the graph
Background:When discussing with electrochemists potential options for interactive charts, we were told that very often scientists print the article and then use the ruler to draw horizontal and vertical lines on the printed figure to manually measure, which values correspond to a specific point of interest on the graph. Depending on the resolution and quality of the image, those measurements are not always very accurate

Psychology flowcharts (displayed in the right sidebar) provide a graphical overview of an experimental procedure. It is also possible to select and compare several
flowcharts by opening them in a new window
Background:While observing cognitive psychologists reading scientific articles, we noticed that a few people were drawing a-kind-of scheme / flowchart when they were reading the article section explaining the experimental set-up and methods. As we were explained later, those flowcharts often help scientists to gain a better understanding of the experiment, especially if the procedure was rather complex

“The new article format gives more options. I like it!”
It “helps to minimize time required to read an article”.
”Although I still prefer to read the article in a PDF format, I will definitely check the online version because of the extra features. Well done, Elsevier!”
“This will reduce my need to print articles.”
“Both authors and readers will benefit from this new article display.”
