The problem isn’t just having too much
information…
…It’s about accessing the right information
in an efficient and effective way
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

SciVerse Solutions
• ScienceDirect, Scopus & SciTopics
• SciVerse Hub
• SciVerse Applications
• Developers Home
Dedicated Image Search
in SciVerse ScienceDirect
More interoperability:
Scopus key author data and citation information
directly connected to the ScienceDirect article
Related reference work articles
Scopus Author Evaluator
SciTopics offers distilled,
authoritative and up-todate research summaries
on a wide range of
scientific topics.
The New SciVerse Hub
features one search across
a single index of
ScienceDirect, Scopus,
SciTopics and web content
with de-duplicated results
Icons show the source of
the search results.
SciVerse’s search syntax
supports Google searches,
ScienceDirect and Scopus
searches by automatically
translating those queries.
At the launch of SciVerse,
3 free Applications were
included.
Recently, a Developers
Home was added. Here
Developers can find
information how to build
applications.
Application example 1:
Methodology section search
application for full- text articles
Application example 2:
Sentence matching application
efficiently assesses search results
and displays query words in the full
sentences where they appear
Application example 3:
Prolific author search application
finds the most “prolific authors”
publishing articles about search
terms, linking into articles by that
author within Scopus.
Application example 4:
Table Download application
allows you to export HTML
tables from an article into CSV
format, to use the data in Excel
or similar software.
Application example 5:
eReader format application
allows you to convert a ScienceDirect
article into ePUB or Mobi e-reader
format (used by iPhone, Amazon
Kindle, Sony etc.)
Application example 6:
applications meant for specific
subject fields or specific groups of
researchers

Customer feedback on SciVerse Applications
What they liked:
What they would like:
“Having no control on the filters, I could
find only a small fraction of the results of
my interest.”
“I was able to quickly locate some new
things happening in my discipline, and also
just outside of my expertise. The app was
simple and returned results in no time at
all.”

“Time needed to find new microwave
synthesis of some compounds 6-8 hours.
After using the application: 30-45 minutes.”
