SciVerse Applications is a marketplace and developer network that allows the scientific community to build, find and use applications that enhance the research experience. Through SciVerse Applications, researchers and librarians can customise their SciVerse search and discovery processes and collaborate with developers to create an ever-expanding universe of new applications.
Elsevier will open up SciVerse ScienceDirect, SciVerse Scopus and SciVerse Hub content via Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that enable developers to create applications for improving workflows and increasing researcher productivity.
The new applications marketplace encourages the scientific community to develop tools best suited to its needs. Developers have the option to build free or paid applications.
Applications may be developed in the following categories:
- Semantic search creating more relevant results by interpreting the context of the request.
- Data and text mining providing better insights by deriving patterns and interpreting the output.
- Visualisation providing graphical interpretations of results.
- Recommenders suggesting matches and relationships between people, entities and ideas.
- Other tools providing opportunities to solve specific tactical problems, stay up-to-date on information or to collaborate across disciplines.
