Elsevier Enriches Articles With Research Data Sets
Elsevier and PANGAEA (Publishing Network for Geoscientific & Environmental Data) announced their next step in interconnecting the diverse elements of scientific research. Elsevier articles at ScienceDirect are now enriched with graphical information linking to associated research data sets that are deposited at PANGAEA.
Elsevier [is announcing the] launch of Article-Based Publishing -- a new publishing model that publishes articles as final and citable without needing to wait until a journal issue is complete. With an increasing focus on online publishing, there is a growing need for innovative publication models geared towards individual articles instead of the print-based issue model. Article-Based Publishing is the assigning of final citation data on an article-by-article basis, decoupled from the compilation of the journal issue itself.
"The combination of Elsevier's and Collexis' knowledge discovery technologies will create a powerful set of applications designed to support scientific management and assessment." Publishers are offering more and more tools, e.g. Thomson Reuter's InCites and SciVal.
