STM publisher Elsevier will collaborate with Berlin-based scientific collaboration platform PaperHive to enable researchers to easily discover, share and annotate the over 12 million articles on ScienceDirect, the world's largest database of scientific, technical and medical full-text content.
PaperHive will integrate the ScienceDirect Application Programming Interface (API) to enable their users to search through full-text ScienceDirect articles - the official versions of record - from the PaperHive platform, and will enable sharing and annotating. Unique to the PaperHive approach, compared with most other sharing tools, is that it will not host the ScienceDirect articles themselves, but rely on the ScienceDirect API to deliver the article to PaperHive users.
The integration is fully compliant with the STM principles for article sharing, as it will enable users to share the best available version of an article, while ensuring Elsevier can track readership statistics that enable article recommendations and reporting to authors and customers. The collaboration will include access to all 12 million+ content items on ScienceDirect.
PaperHive is an integrated web platform for collaborative reading and a cross-publisher layer of interaction on top of research documents. The Berlin-based startup strives to make efficient collaboration the driving force throughout the entire research process, thus helping researchers to save time, get inspired by the contributions of others, and get in contact with future collaborators. After starting with arXiv PaperHive is continuously extending the content that can be read and discussed on its platform by integrating with other publishers and pre-print repositories.
