New Interface for ScienceDirect

Today, ScienceDirect has gone live with a new interface. Here’s what Elsevier highlights as the biggest changes:

Thoroughly user-tested, ScienceDirect has been upgraded to make it easier to find relevant articles and books, read an article online, discover open access content and export to Mendeley.

The new release has four key upgrades:

  • A simplified user experience, with less visual clutter and improved design
  • Better visibility of open access content
  • Quicker discovery of relevant ScienceDirect content from search engines
  • Seamless export of citations and full-text articles to Mendeley

A note about Elsevier’s spotlighting Mendeley: Elsevier acquired that citation management system a year ago, which is why they’re focusing on it here. Export to Zotero and RefWorks are equally easy to use.
