STM publisher Elsevier has announced the launch of an optimised mobile version of ScienceDirect, its leading full-text scientific database.
The updated mobile version of ScienceDirect now allows researchers to read journal articles on mobile devices through a specifically designed interface offering high readability and a streamlined page layout. Users of ScienceDirect that access journal articles on a mobile device will automatically be directed to a dedicated page which offers an online experience tailored for mobile use. The mobile view is designed around how people work when they use mobile devices, including simple browse, scan, read or save-for-later features. The mobile view is also built with high performance principles to counter the high latency, low bandwidth and limited processing power of mobile devices.
The updated mobile version of ScienceDirect has been designed based on user feedback and consultation. Users want focused and fast access to articles, with easy reading and navigation that keeps resizing, panning and scrolling to a minimum. The mobile version of ScienceDirect now supports fast navigation, access to similar results, easy access to references, the ability to view tables and a pinch-to-zoom feature. Users can also choose to open articles as a PDF and can export articles to Mendeley, RefWorks, and in BibTeX format, among others.
