Scopus Cited-by Counts Now Appear on AIP Journal PagesMelville, NY, 10 March 2008 - The American Institute of Physics today announced the release of a new Web service that provides AIP journal subscribers with cited-by article counts and links to the more than 33 million records in the Scopus database. Scopus, a product of Elsevier, is the largest abstract and citation database of research literature, drawing from 15,000 peer-reviewed journals from more than 4,000 publishers worldwide. The new cited-by feature will allow AIP journal subscribers to immediately see how many times a particular article has been cited in the vast number of journals covered by Scopus. Clicking on the cited-by link takes the user to a page on the Scopus platform that lists the article’s bibliographic details. “Full-Text” links allow users to check their library’s holdings and link to the full-text articles to which they are entitled via a link resolver. “Since we mounted our first journal online in 1994, we have strived to provide our subscribers with the broadest possible range of value-added features,” said Tim Ingoldsby, Director of Strategic Initiatives and Publisher Relations. “Today we are delighted to be the first publisher outside of Elsevier’s own ScienceDirect service to implement this valuable feature, and we will soon offer it to the other publishers whose content is hosted on our Scitation™ platform.” “We are pleased the AIP has integrated the Scopus cited-by counts into its journal pages,” said Niels Weertman, Director Scopus. “At Scopus we are committed to providing researchers with the most up-to-date information possible, and with this integration we can serve an even wider community.” Scopus is the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature and quality web sources with smart tools to track, analyze and visualize research. Scopus is designed and developed with over 500 users and librarians internationally. Its unique database contains abstracts and references from 15,000 peer-reviewed journals from more than 4,000 publishers worldwide, ensuring broad interdisciplinary coverage. In addition, Scopus not only offers users citation information about the articles covered, but also integrates web and patent searches directly from its clean and simple interface. Direct links to full-text articles, library resources and other applications like reference management software, make Scopus quicker, easier and more comprehensive to use than any other literature research tool.
