ScienceDirect Enhancements

Selected articles in ScienceDirect have recently been enriched by two collaborations with third party providers. Contextual information links to NextBio, for life sciences, health sciences and chemistry articles, and PANGAEA (Publishing Network for Geoscientific & Environmental Data) for earth sciences articles, can now be found in ScienceDirect.

NextBio
While viewing an article or book chapter (published from 1995 and excluding Major Reference Works) on ScienceDirect, the keywords from that selected article or book chapter are matched against NextBio’s biomedical ontologies. On the article page, the NextBio application presents key terms found in that article. These can be viewed for further exploration.

PANGAEA
Articles in ScienceDirect with a corresponding data set in PANGAEA now display a PANGAEA icon and link directly to that data set on PANGAEA. Clicking on the icon takes the user to a page that includes citation information and a link to download the freely available data.
