STM publisher Elsevier has announced its collaboration with scientific social network MyScienceWork on a pilot initiative to enable researchers to easily share and discover over 11 million articles through MyScienceWork.
The pilot will allow MyScienceWork users to read, annotate and share articles from ScienceDirect within the MyScienceWork interface among each other. The articles on MyScienceWork will be presented the same way as users find them on ScienceDirect: full text published articles will be available to those affiliated with ScienceDirect subscribers and Open Access articles will be available to all.
The pilot includes access to all of the content on ScienceDirect: over 12 million content items from over 2,200 journals and 26,000 book titles.
MyScienceWork is a social network based on the open access concept of providing researchers and the general public free access to scientific knowledge. Through its centralized communication platform, MyScienceWork offers more than 31 million publications, expert's profiles, jobs offers, events and scientific news. The project is based on one major principle: associate content with visibility with a single click.
