SCOPUS : An eye on global research.

SCOPUS :  An eye on global research.
53 million records | 21,915 titles | 5,000 publishers
Scopus is the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature: scientific journals, books and conference proceedings. Delivering a comprehensive overview of the world's research output in the fields of science, technology, medicine, social sciences, and arts and humanities, Scopus features smart tools to track, analyze and visualize research.  As research becomes increasingly global, interdisciplinary and collaborative, you can make sure that critical research from around the world is not missed when you choose Scopus.

Search | Analyze | Visualize

Research is a complex pursuit. More than ever, finding the right result is as important as uncovering trends, discovering sources and collaborators, and analyzing results to yield further insights. Scopus features smart tools to track, analyze and visualize research.

Search

·         Search by document, author or affiliation, or use Advanced Search
·         Refine results by source type, year, language, author, affiliation and more
·         Link to full-text articles and other library resources
·         Use the QUOSA Information Manager to bulk retrieve results in .pdf format
·         Export data to Reference Managers such as Mendeley, RefWorks and EndNote

Anywhere Article Arrives Wiley is proud to announce the launch of the new Enhanced HTML Article using RWD : responsive web design

Anywhere Article Arrives
Wiley is proud to announce the launch of our new Enhanced HTML Article


What is Anywhere Article?
For years, readers have relied on PDFs as the primary means of reading journal research articles, despite the fact that HTML offers so much more interaction and discoverability

Why? One contributor to the social network Quora explained:

'There is one primary reason that I prefer PDF versions of scientific documents. PDFs have less clutter... What can publishers do?'

It turned out to be simple.

We acted.

Why did we create the Anywhere Article?


What are the features of an Anywhere Article?
We focused on making the Anywhere Article reading experience a better, more productive experience for readers in the following ways:
  • Readability - superfluous information and clutter has been removed so that readers can focus on the article.
  • Functionality - the new layout and sidebar trays allows readers easy access to important information, such as references, at any point in the reading experience, without losing their place on the page.
  • Figure browser - as well as viewing a figure in context, readers can browse through all other figures in the article at the same time, and quickly navigate to each figure's context in the article
  • Mobility - the responsive HTML article will adapt to any device - desktop, tablet, or mobile - to give the optimal reading experience

See the Anywhere Article in action.



When Can I Start Using Anywhere Article?
Look out for the new links you'll see at the bottom of each article, which read 'Enhanced Article (HTML)'.

Where ever you see this link:

You can bring up the new 'Anywhere Article' version of that content, allowing you to view it easily on the device of your choice, at your convenience.



Access your content anywhere - on any device.

Paramount to the UConn Libraries work at providing access to needed information is analyzing our current resources and understanding how library resources are used. This is an essential part of our stewardship of UConn Libraries’ collections.

As part of this work, I seek your feedback about your use of  Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar.

·         Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar have the following features:
o   Search functionality to retrieve article citations
o   Analysis features to analyze article, author, and journal impact

Thinking of your most frequent use of Web of Science, Scopus or Google Scholar  please describe:

1.       Do you regularly make use of either  Web of Science, Scopus  or Google Scholar?

If so…

2.        Which resource do you use most often?
3.       In the resource most frequently used, how do you use the search functionality compared to the analysis features? (Please consider frequency of use, importance to you, etc.)
4.       If you use more than one of these tools, why do you use more than one? What features do not overlap?


If you have additional comments or questions about Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, or if you wish to share more details about how (or if) you use these tools in your research and teaching, please respond at your earliest convenience.  However, responses  by May 23, 2014 would be most appreciated. 



Google Scholar : http://scholar.google.com/


Thank you and best regards,

Federal Resources Affected by Government Shutdown





Federal Resources Affected by Government Shutdown

Due to the government shutdown, a number of frequently used online resources are being affected and may not be up to date. The following information has been collected from important sites such as PubMed and Grants.gov. We will continue to add updates to this post as more information becomes available. 

Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)
“Due to the temporary shutdown of federal government services, this web site will not be updated or maintained until government operations are authorized to resume.” [ahrq.gov]


Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
“Due to the lapse in government funding, only web sites supporting excepted functions will be updated unless otherwise funded. As a result, the information on this website may not be up to date, the transactions submitted via the website may not be processed, and the agency may not be able to respond to inquiries until appropriations are enacted.” [cdc.gov]


Note: it is not yet clear which are “excepted functions.” 


ClinicalTrials.gov
“Due to the lapse in government funding, the information on this website may not be up to date, transactions submitted via the website may not be processed, and the agency may not be able to respond to inquiries until appropriations are enacted.” [clinicaltrials.gov ]


Grants.gov
“The Department of Health and Human Services anticipates that the Grants.gov system will remain in an operational status, but with reduced federal support staff presence, should a lapse in appropriations occur. In addition, we anticipate that the Grants.gov Contact Center will remain available, and provide assistance to callers. HHS, as Managing Partner, in collaboration with OMB and the Grants.gov Program Management Office, will keep the federal grantor community updated as to the status of the Grants.gov system as plans evolve in the event of a government shutdown.” [grants.gov]


NCBI – including databases such as Gene, SNP, and BLAST
“Due to the lapse in government funding, the information on this web site may not be up to date, transactions submitted via the web site may not be processed, and the agency may not be able to respond to inquiries until appropriations are enacted.” [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]


PubMed.gov
“PubMed has been designated to be maintained with minimal staff during the lapse in government funding. The information on this website will be kept as up to date as possible, and the agency will attempt to respond to urgent operational inquiries during this period.” [pubmed.gov]


Note: We are unsure at this time about the parameters of “as up to date as possible.” It’s possible that new or certain sets of citations will not be added to PubMed or indexed; we are attempting to learn more.

PubMed Central

“Due to the lapse in government funding, the information on this web site may not be up to date, transactions submitted via the web site may not be processed, and the agency may not be able to respond to inquiries until appropriations are enacted.” [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc]


U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF)
“Due to the temporary shutdown of federal government services, this web site will not be updated or maintained until government operations are authorized to resume.” [uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org]

Cochrane Library - Maintenance Notice - Weekend of 13/14 April 2013




From: Wiley-Blackwell [mailto:onlinelibraryinfo@wiley.com]
Sent: Friday, April 12, 2013 3:47 AM
To: Deborah Sanford
Subject: Blackwell Reference Online & The Cochrane Library - Maintenance Notice - Weekend of 13/14 April 2013


Wiley-Blackwell

Dear Customer,

We are contacting you to provide you with advanced warning of some planned maintenance and downtime that will affect products on Blackwell Reference Online and The Cochrane Library. This maintenance work will ensure the websites Wiley hosts are more robust and less susceptible to unplanned outages. In order to perform this upgrade it is necessary to take the site offline for up to 12 hours over a weekend. After consultation we have identified the least disruptive date for all our customers as the weekend of April 13th/14th.

The websites will be unavailable for no more than 12 hours starting at 9pm London time / 4pm New York time on Saturday 13th April 2013. During this time, due to the nature of the work we cannot show a maintenance note so anyone trying to access the site will get a “Site not found” or similar message.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to you and your website users.
