Announcements Product Updates Webinars Highlights Open Access Press Releases Other News Resources General Announcement Elsevier is joining ALIA virtually this year! The ALIA Information Online Conference will be held on Monday, 8th February 2021 (more information here). Visit our "virtual booth" to say hi and join our ScienceDirect quiz challenge to get an Elsevier goodie bag at your doorstep. We look forward to seeing you! As Suzanne Hall, our Solution Sales Manager for books, is taking a new global role with Elsevier, she will no longer be covering the SSM role this year. Until her replacement is announced, enquiries for books will now be handled by your Account Manager and Angela McGuire (Consumer Consultant). Product updates ScienceDirect ScienceDirect has made the following enhancements: ScienceDirect added an additional filtering option on your search results page. You can now restrict your search results based on the subject area of the articles returned. When browsing publications on ScienceDirect, you can now limit the publication types displayed to include (or exclude) Textbooks. You can also limit the access type to Open Access publications. Journal Portfolio Update The Lancet Rheumatology is now indexed in Scopus, Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Web of Science. Newly launched journals are rarely chosen for indexation as it normally takes a few years. This suggests the high quality of its publications. Blood on behalf of the American Society of Hematology, Endocrine Practice on behalf of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists and Journal of Pain is still available for 2021 subscription. Blood - Established in 1946, this journal from the American Society of Hematology is the top cited journal in Hematology and is published weekly. Impact Factor: 17.543 Endocrine Practice - A peer-reviewed monthly journal from the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE). Impact Factor: 3.805 Journal of Pain - This is an official journal of the US Association for the Study of Pain, publishing original articles related to all aspects of pain. Impact Factor: 4.62 For more information, please contact JLS inside sales manager Mingjun Shan ([email protected]) who works alongside your account managers for ANZ market. Scopus Roadmap Enhanced Author Profiles pages A simpler, cleaner design enables you to quickly scan an author’s profile to get an overview of their areas of expertise (via their top Topics), their productivity and publications and their research impact. The updated Author Profiles makes it easier to search for collaborators or assess researchers for tenure and promotion. Identify Open Access content by OA type Within the search results filters, there is currently one OA marker which covers full OA journals, hybrid journals, and open archive. We are looking to apply filters which will denote whether articles are: Gold, Hybrid Gold, Green, and Bronze. Pre-prints on author pages We will introduce 600K recent pre-prints on Author Profiles giving users a view into an author’s pre-prints from the last three years and providing earlier and more comprehensive insights into their work and focus areas. With an average peer-review process of a little more than a year, users can get a head start into assessing an author’s work and potential collaboration opportunities. Article Scopus view counts Users will now be able to see how many times an article has been viewed in Scopus from the results screen. The traditional citation metric indicates the value/use of an article and is therefore a lagging metric, whereas Scopus view counts are a leading indicator of quality. The views are a proxy for interest in an article, within the researcher community, and can provide users with an entry point to an area of research. Improving integration between SciVal and Scopus Users will be able to evaluate institutions in Scopus and SciVal more consistently due to further alignment, based on a revamp of 17,000+ institution profiles, and their respective analytical metrics Ongoing user interface, experience, & data improvements The Scopus team is continuously analyzing usage and behavior trends while conducting researcher interviews to validate user flows and ensure an optimal path and user experience. These improvements include: Improving the home page experience by making it more personalized for users Assigning awarded grants to Author Profiles Ability to analyse the SDG search queries in Scopus Advancing analytical capabilities on profile pages Expert Lookup integration helping you to find similar or relevant researchers Sub-category filtering with more granular Topic areas Continuous Institutional Profile data clean-up by mapping subsidiaries with parent AF-IDs. Redesigned abstract pages to improve ease-of-use Improved full-text download capability: 1-click cross-publisher access to 69M full text articles New CiteScore methodology: Introducing a more robust, fair and faster indicator of research impact. Fairer comparisons between peer-reviewed journals: Only peer-reviewed publication types (articles, reviews, conference papers, book chapters and data papers) are be included in the calculation, making the comparison between journals more robust. This now excludes non- peer reviewed article types: editorials, news items, letters, and notes. Cleaner assessment: Citations are now counted cumulatively from the year of publication through the calculation window (4 years) vs only the previous year. This means that all citations received by publications in this period are counted towards CiteScore values, and journals receive a CiteScore value 1 year earlier than an Impact Factor. Earlier impact indication: CiteScore is now calculated for journals with just a single year of publication, providing an earlier view into new journals’ – including many Open Access journals’ – citation impact. Easier identification & tracking of experts Save all authors to lists: Users can now create and save ‘author lists’ for later reference. In addition, users can also save all authors from an Institution to a list from the institution profile. Save authors from results: Users can now save all authors to a list from “View Potential Author Matches” in search results Author List analytics: This new feature allows users to see analytics and metrics of a list of authors saved in their dashboard. Clicking on it will display the aggregated metrics of all the authors saved in that list. More information on the Scopus 2020 - 2021 Roadmap SciVal Roadmap Based on our 2020 Roadmap, below are our plans for SciVal in early 2021. Find potential collaborators via Topics you have in common Improved user on-boarding experience, with additional help and guidance Open Access analysis More in-depth analyses for the UN Sustainable Development Goals Support for University Systems: Improved profile setup of University Systems and see the collaboration of a System with other Institutions Outside-in perspective on funding, for research policy-making Enjoy a growing catalogue of institutional profiles for your analysis Pure Roadmap We continue to invest in tooling to support research administrators and librarians in ensuring high quality data in the following areas: Addition of new data sources such as DBLP for the computer science field, and an integration with the Elsevier offering for finding and importing awarded grants data into Pure. Expansion of ability to record and use metrics on content level, including expansion of the metrics stored, top percentage cited articles and fractional counting of articles. Towards our commitment and support of open access we will also be expanding the support for APC and license data on research output and looking at adding a data source such as Unpaywall and/or COAR. Expanded workflow capability to facilitate clients in modeling and running processes that connects systems and related processes to give the Administrator an operational hub – allowing them to fulfill the institutional needs of optimizing ability to get funds, to manage research process and to engage researchers.

The value of having standards records within EV is that users can search and discover standards records in context with all other research materials. As of November 2020, there are now standards from 11 standards development organizations (SDOs) indexed in Compendex including IEEE, SMPTE, ASTM, ASCE, SAE, AIAA, BSI, TAPPI, AWS, ACI and AWWA. A complete set of each SDO’s standards are indexed, both active and inactive versions. Inclusion of technical standards content from major engineering ocused SDOs is ongoing and represents a long-term content enhancement program for Ei Compendex. Inspec Analytics Inspec Analytics is available on Engineering Village (EV) further cementing EV as the first choice for serious engineering research. Combined with the Engineering Research Profile on Compendex, EV adds unmatched
