Last week the partnership between NextBio and Elsevier was officially announced!
Elsevier will be using our technology to enhance ScienceDirect. Elsevier is the biggest player in scientific publishing and ScienceDirect is used by millions of researchers. Their decision to incorporate our technology into their platform shows that they recognize the value of NextBio’s tools and we are very pleased to have the endorsement of such an influential company.
The new, enhanced ScienceDirect will utilize NextBio’s ontological framework so that users can search ScienceDirect’s literature along with publicly-available, experimental data, clinical trials, and news articles. There is a growing trend in the scientific community towards integrating multiple types of information. I believe that Elsevier’s decision to integrate literature, experimental data, clinical trials and news on the ScienceDirect platform is a big step in the right direction. Hopefully, we’ll soon see other vendors join the bandwagon.
The NextBio engineering team let me see a sneak peek of the enhanced ScienceDirect. Not to let the cat out of the bag, but there is a great interface that will let users easily navigate through the different types of content. You’ll be able to see the new ScienceDirect for yourself when it goes live later this summer!
Hi, Lisa. Cool! That is very exciting. ScienceDirect contains some of the best sci/tech content in the world. But searching in it has always been a pain. Good for Elsevier and NextBio for working for working on that. Great news indeed.
