| Abstract: |
ScienceDirect, the world's largest provider of scientific, technical and
medical information, is an open platform offering its subscribers desktop access to more than 2 million full-text
articles. Coverage includes over 1,500 journals published by Elsevier Science and dynamic linking to journals from
around 120 leading STM publishers through CrossRef. An expanding suite of scientific full text and abstract databases in
a rich linking environment provides subscribers with increasingly flexible and extensive access to the world's published
STM literature. The commitment to stay one step ahead with ScienceDirect can be shown in perspective with the
Czech and Slovak ScienceDirect consortium license which was closed in 2000. The value added to the platform since
that time is incredible; not only with respect to the number of full-text articles but also huge investments were
made in databases, navigators, Major Reference Works and historical backfiles a/o. ScienceDirect is a division of
Elsevier Science (www.reed-elsevier.com). |
