STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced the availability of a new mobile application, SciVerse Scopus Alerts Individual, which provides non-institutional subscribers with immediate, on-the-go access to the latest Scopus content. While users based in subscribing institutions can already benefit from a free mobile app, this new service signifies an important increase in the range and flexibility of Scopus.
Through this new iPhone and Android application, individuals can now utilise key features of the world’s largest abstract and citation database. SciVerse Scopus Alerts Individual gives users the opportunity to search across thousands of scholarly journals from more than 5,000 international publishers. This is the first time Elsevier has offered any form of individual subscription to its flagship bibliographic database.
Among the key features of SciVerse Scopus Alerts Individual is the search and citation alerts function, which allows researchers to receive updates on new publications relevant to their fields of interest and notifications on citations of their work by peers. The mobile application also fosters collaboration among the research community as users can share links to articles with colleagues through an email function included in the app.
SciVerse Scopus Alerts Individual is available to non-institutional subscribers for a 30-day free trial and subsequently a yearly fee. It is available globally through the iTunes store and for Android devices through AndroidMarket.
