SciVerse
PlatformAugust 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.

Applications
SciVerse
HubBetaOn 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
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 NextBio
While 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 NextBio
On selecting a category
and source, results can be
further sorted and refined

The largest abstract and citation database
of research literature and quality web sources.
It provides users with comprehensive coverage
of leading peer reviewed literature.

Journal Metrics
Syracuse Lunch and Learn
Compare up to ten journals at
one time
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 prestige
e.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

“Just as scientists would not accept the findings in a scientific
paper without seeing the primary data, so should they not rely on
(the) impact factor, which is based on hidden data. As more
publication and citation data become available, we hope that
people will begin to develop their own metrics for assessing
scientific quality rather than rely on an ill-defined and manifestly
unscientific number.”
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.
