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

Why SciVerse?

On August 28, 2010, ScienceDirect and Scopus integrated on the SciVerse platform with increased interoperability

• 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

• Scopus Enhanced Affiliation Profile allows Administrators to inform and update Scopus profiling so that there is a clear hierarchy of relationships between profiles

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.

• Q&A

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

PANGAEA Brings Data to ScienceDirect

• Now, each article on ScienceDirect with a corresponding data set in PANGAEA displays a prominent link directly to that data.

• This puts the data into context with the primary literature, and greatly increases its discoverability by embedding it at the right point in the knowledge discovery process.

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

- Apply to nearly 18,000 journals, proceedings and book series- Are refreshed twice per year to ensure currency of metrics- Eliminate the risk of manipulation- Correct for citation behaviour and database coverage- Provide multidimensional insights into journal performance - Allow for a direct comparison of journals, independent of their subject classification- Are integrated into the Scopus Journal Analyzer

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.
