Scopus and ScienceDirect Document Download Manager Enhancements

The Document Download Manager (DDM) allows users to select and automatically download, re-name and save multiple documents simultaneously. This service allows users to spend less time gathering information and more time for their real work. Initially, the Document Download Manager was only available for a limited number of browsers and we realize this has frustrated some of our users. We are happy to announce that list of compatible browsers has been expanded to include all commonly used browsers and browser versions, including Chrome and improved Mac support. As a result, more researchers can now benefit from this highly effective and time saving functionality.

Benefit from improved navigation and readability
