SciVerse Scopus

Continue Your Search in Hub

Soon the familiar tabs for Web, Patents and more will be replaced with links to Hub allowing for uninterrupted searching from Scopus to Hub.

Clean New Look

On the Document Details page, look for a new, clean and easy to read layout and improved documentation.

Improved Linking

Links on Scopus Journal pages will allow quick access to utilize journal metrics SNIP, the source-normalized impact, and SJR, the weighted prestige metric.  Additionally, links to MEDLINE records will be readily available.

SciVerse Hub

Re-sort Your Filters

Now that we are open to the public, we are eager to incorporate great suggestions from our users to improve your search experience.  One of these suggestions will be launched soon- Hub users will soon be able to change the order of the Refine Results filters, giving them more control over their search experience.

Amplify Your Search

There are now 60 applications that will help you amp up your Hub searches.  With our new Science News App, you can check out related articles from New York Times Science News while you are using Hub.  Science New is just one of many helpful SciVerse Applications you can add to customize Hub!

SciVerse Applications

Lots of New Apps!

And of course, now that Hub is open to searching by the general public, anyone can access and use most of our Applications to customize their SciVerse experiences.  New on SciVerse is the Altmetric app, which helps you measure the social media buzz that articles receive.

Expanding Our Network

Now that everyone can use Apps, we are eager to expand our growing list of developers.  One of our newest members of the Elsevier Developer Network, F1000 has recently launched their first App, which links SciVerse ScienceDirect & Scopus users to the F1000 evaluations of the articles they are reading.
