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.

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

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.
