STM publisher Elsevier has announced that Access to Scientific Literature (ABC), the Scientific Library program sponsored by Panama's Ministry of Health and Ministry of Science and Technology, has selected Elsevier's ScienceDirect and ClinicalKey.
With this two-year collaboration agreement, the country's researchers and health and academic institutions will have access to content and digital resources on scientific and clinical literature. This collaboration will also increase the number of entities with access to this information, on the different areas of knowledge.
The ABC programme allows many institutions and entities in Panama to have access to ClinicalKey and ScienceDirect, impacting the number of research outputs and helping to increase the national research capacity while strengthening the quality of education and social services in Panama.
Elsevier and the National Secretariat of Science Technology and Innovation (SENACYT) share a common goal to improve the development of scientific, clinical and technology area in Panama, thereby putting an end to inequality and promoting equitable research and R&D in healthcare.
Panama appointed Elsevier as a key partner to achieve its goals, including providing access to the most updated and high-quality information solutions in health, technology and science.
According to Gerrit Bos, Executive Vice President, EMEALA-APAC, Elsevier Health, Elsevier will continue incorporating new features for ABC to continue contributing the quality of higher education and health services in Panamá.
ClinicalKey provides evidence-based clinical answers drawn from the single largest body of clinical content available, including over 600 journals, more than 1100 books, drug information, guidelines, patient education and Medline. The Smart Search enables ClinicalKey to understand clinical terms and thus discover the most relevant medical content and find related content often missed by other search engines. ClinicalKey is optimised for any mobile device, making it more convenient to search and validate on-the-go.
