Elsevier has announced that Scirus, its free, science-specific search engine, has signed an agreement with CrossRef, the cross-publisher linking network with over 2200 participating publishers and societies, t o become a Web Services Search Partner. The partnership allows Scirus to collect metadata from hundreds of participating publishers via CrossRef’s new Web Services protocol. This combined approach improves how researchers, academics, students, and librarians search authoritative, scientific published content. “Scirus already uniquely enables the most accurate searching of authoritative scientific content through the addition of classification codes, identification of information types and bibliographic metadata,” said Joris van Rossum, Head of Scirus . “ This partnership, which allows us to take advantage of the new Web Services protocol, fits perfectly with Scirus’ ambition to be the most comprehensive and trustworthy search engine for scientific published content on the Web."
