STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced that its online STM platform, ScienceDirect, has partnered with QUOSA to introduce the Document Download Manager, a new feature that enables researchers to download multiple full-text articles simultaneously. QUOSA is a specialist software company focused on supplying superior work-flow tools to STM professionals for reviewing and managing the scientific literature and related documents.
With Document Download Manager, researchers can initiate the download of up to 20 PDF versions of full-text research articles from any results list with much fewer clicks. The Download Manager will enable researchers to automatically name downloaded full-text articles according to their own naming convention and pre-select a preferred destination for downloads.
It is expected that the Document Download Manager will significantly save time on some of the repetitive and laborious tasks involved in research today. Also, it will help reduce the irritation factor of lost files, and makes the process much more intuitive.
