Elsevier enhances STM platform ScienceDirect with new features - 16 Apr 2008

STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced that new intuitive reference and navigational features have been added to its online STM platform, ScienceDirect.
The new features, which were developed in cooperation with researchers, are seen to deliver clearer results with fewer clicks.

Additionally, researcher comments and ratings from 2collab, Elsevier’s free web-based collaborative platform, will be integrated with the articles in ScienceDirect.
With this upgrade researchers are projected to experience a boost in productivity and a faster and more seamless research process.

Researchers typically want to evaluate the relevance of an article without reading through it, and they do so by using the article abstract, figures/graphs and references.
To speed up this process, ScienceDirect now offers preview tabs on the results page or table of contents page.
These facilitate one-click access to components, without the page reloading, enabling a seamless and simple research process.

An article toolbox
also improves navigation by bringing together all of the article-related functionality including ‘Cited By’ and ‘E-mail Article’ into one easy-to-find location.
The toolbox will save time and help customers easily find the tools they need.

Researchers can now view reference information when their cursor moves over a reference marker in the body of an article.

The information shown includes links to the referenced articles (if available). Researchers will be able to view or download the referenced paper immediately if they wish.
Previously, reference information was only available at the foot of the article page.
