Scopus Now Available in Research4Life for Scientists in the Developing World & Scopus in Japan
From the Announcement:
Elsevier today announced that Scopus will be added to Research4Life. Scopus contains abstracts and references from nearly 18,000 peer reviewed journals from more than 5,000 international publishers.
Research4Life is the collective name given to HINARI, AGORA and OARE, the three public-private partnerships that offer health, agriculture and environmental research for free or at very low cost to developing countries. Key partners include WHO, FAO, UNEP, Cornell and Yale Universities, the International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers and technology partner, Microsoft,. Over 150 publishers, among them Elsevier, Springer, Wiley-Blackwell and Oxford University Press provide their journal content.
"Developing country researchers need evidence to ensure they are pursuing the most relevant topics for their research. Without high-caliber search tools, that evidence remains hidden. HINARI is delighted that our users will have such a wonderful opportunity with Scopus to discover what is being published in their areas of interest,” remarked Kimberly Parker, HINARI Program Manager at the WHO.
