Abstracting and indexing database Scopus, part of STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced that it has partnered with specialist software firm QUOSA, Inc. to introduce a new tool, Document Download Manager. Document Download Manager will enable its users to download and rename multiple full-text articles simultaneously, reducing the procedure from minutes to seconds.
With Document Download Manager researchers can initiate the download of up to 50 full-text articles simultaneously from the Scopus results list. In some cases this can be done with as few as three clicks in total as against the approximately 150 clicks needed to do so without the Document Download Manager.
The tool, freely available in Scopus, will further save researchers time by automatically renaming the downloaded full-text articles according to a user-chosen naming convention. Traditionally, full-text articles have default names which can vary from a random set of letters and numbers to complicated and lengthy URLs. The Document Download Manager will provide the user with the option to choose a meaningful naming convention that will then be accredited to all the articles downloaded via Scopus, enabling the user to organise their files quickly and easily.
