Elsevier, the global information analytics business specialising in science and health, has announced a new partnership with Impactstory, a non-profit that creates online tools to make science more open and reusable. As a result of this partnership, researchers will soon be able to find open access content on Scopus more efficiently. Meanwhile, for university research offices, the expansion of OA-identified content in Scopus will enable improved strategic analysis and benchmarking.
The agreement will enable Elsevier to integrate document-level OA data from Impactstory's Unpaywall database with Scopus content; identification and tagging of Scopus' OA peer-reviewed articles will begin in August and roll out through November 2018.
Currently, Scopus users can filter search results to link to open access articles published in journals that are OA-only and which the publisher has proactively registered as OA through Crossref. Matching OA documents from Impactstory's Unpaywall database with Scopus content will increase the amount of OA-tagged content in Scopus to over 7 million records. This will improve navigation and allow for trend analysis of publication models across research subject areas and countries.
With this agreement, both the organisations' seek to work on initiatives that support open science, ensuring that institutions and researchers have the resources that best support their workflows and reporting needs.
