What's New in ScienceDirect?

ScienceDirect never stands still.

Welcome to the What's New is ScienceDirect? online tutorial.

As a result of extensive testing and our commitment to give you the best possible user experience, ScienceDirect has been redesigned.

The look and feel and navigation have been transformed to bring you the scientific and medical information you want quickly and easily.

With the new Remember me feature, you do not have to log in every time you visit ScienceDirect.

And ScienceDirect will remember your personal preferences and provide access to the personalized features.

Quick Search has been enhanced to accommodate a more focused search.

Now, the four most frequent research tasks can be performed from any page in ScienceDirect using Quick Search.

You can reach related articles by searching specific terms.

You can search a specific publication title.

You can search a specific article by searching the volume/issue/page fields of a publication.

You can search a specific author name.

If you are logged in a personal session, ScienceDirect will remember this activity and display a link to these results in the new Recent Actions area on the ScienceDirect Home page.

The ScienceDirect Home page now offers immediate access to your favorite and most frequently visited areas of ScienceDirect.

You can customize your ScienceDirect Home page by opening or closing the new task areas.

If you are logged in a personal session, ScienceDirect will remember the areas you opened or closed and will present the ScienceDirect Home page accordingly in your next personal session.
