STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced that it has reached an agreement with the Russian Foundation of Basic Research (RFBR) to provide 150 Russian research institutes with access to SciVerse ScienceDirect as well as trial access to SciVerse Scopus. This one-year license agreement is part of a formal collaboration programme between Elsevier and RFBR until 2014.
The Russian Foundation for Basic Research is a self-governing foundation existing in the form of a federal institution run under the jurisdiction of the government of the Russian Federation. Its main goal is to provide support and assistance to research work in all areas of fundamental science on a competitive basis. The foundation distributes federal funding to the most advanced research projects originating both from Russian universities as well as from institutions of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The RFBR is part of G8 scientific foundations family and enjoys close cooperation ties with all key funding bodies across the globe.
The SciVerse suite of search and discovery offerings provide the global research community access to a constantly expanding universe of content and solutions which can now be accessed in one platform. The suite currently includes SciVerse ScienceDirect, which claims to be the world’s largest source of peer-reviewed content containing more than 10 million articles, and SciVerse Scopus, an abstract and citation database containing 41 million records. The platform also includes SciVerse Hub which enables researchers to perform a single search across all of the SciVerse content as well as targeted web content with results ranked by relevancy and without duplication.
