4. Customize Your Search and Discovery Processes
with SciVerse Applications
Enhancing researcher workflows
Researchers can now find and influence applications that customize the way
they collaborate with the most relevant researchers, search for insights,
and manage or analyze the information that accelerates science.

5. SciVerse Hub Applications
Highlight on Apps . . .
The Emtree Query Analyzer helps you search in SciVerse by
analyzing your query and suggesting synonyms for terms that
it recognizes. You can select synonyms to add to recognized
terms and then re-run your query.
Context matters. With the Matching Sentences application,
you will see your search terms embedded in their original,
complete sentences in the results - to give context, and allow
you to quickly determine which articles are relevant to your
research.
6. SciVerse Hub Applications
Other apps that improve searching within the Hub
HL NIH Grants – find research projects funded by NIH
HL Clinical Trials – Find a list of active clinical trials
Section Search – run a targeted search across one or
more sections of an Elsevier article
Figure Search – find images within Pubmed Central,
a repository of open access articles
Science News - read the latest SciTech news
related to your search
7. SciVerse Hub Applications
Highlight on Apps . . .
The Co-Author Network application provides a visual
representation of an author's network of top co-authors. It is
available to all users of SciVerse Hub including non-
subscribers of Scopus. It covers all subject areas in Scopus.

Editor's Notes
Before we get started, I would briefly like to put SD into context with the other activities that go on at Elsevier. Elsevier serves 3 main and interlinked areas, some of which may be of interest to you, Biology, Chemistry and Medicine. [first click] Pharmapendium, gives you searchable access to all FDA and EMA approval documentation and we also provide additional solutions serving the biology and medicine spheres, such as Embase for your biomedical literature searching needs, SciVerseScienceDirect for full-text access and SciVerse Scopus, an all-science abstract and citation database. [second click] This should help put PharmaPendium into context, and with that we are almost ready to move to today’s session, which Pooja will be taking us through.
Just before we get started, a couple of need to knows. During the session you may send us your questions by using the chat or Ask a Question function on the webinar control panel. We will have 15 minutes for questions at the end and for those questions we do not answer in the webinar, they will be included in a complete Q&A sent to all attendees by email. If you wish to have a full screen view, please click on the red arrow. Your control panel will be hidden. Click again on the red arrow to see your control panel again. Mary, welcome, could you briefly introduce yourself and tell us all about finding and using apps?
If we go back to the typical workflow, a user starts in Pubmed, find an Elsevier citation and links to SD to download. They’ve come to the “end of the road” and leave SD to go back to Pubmed. This app opens doors for researchers to find additional content without backtracking. NextBio has an extensive ontology (think EMTREE) that maps users to related articles not only in SD, but Pubmed, ClinicalTrials, News and Data Studies.
Find Apps by searching for browsing in the Application Gallery. Manage apps (e.g. Removing) in My Applications.
Please indicate which workflow example you would most like to see?Apps that help you improve your search resultsApps that help you make discoveries and gain new insightsApps that help you collaborate with the most relevant researchers
We have come to the end of this ScienceDirect and Apps webinar. Thank you for attending. Thank you Mary for your presentation. Today’s session offered a review 30 applications relevant for users in life science related areas, outlined how you may find available applications and Mary spend some time demonstrating how you may easily add and incorporate relevant applications in your workflow.We offer other webinars and you may review our webinar calendar in a link, which will be sent to you after this webinar. Please feel free to register for as many webinars as you like or send it to your colleagues. When you leave the session, a survey will pop up. Please fill out what your thoughts are regarding this webinar. All questions sent today will be answered and you will receive in an e-mail shortly, as well as a link to the recording of this session. Many thanks again, good luck with further exploring useful apps and we hope to meet you again soon.
