Scopus from Elsevier

Posted on Friday, 15 August 2008

Scopus is the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature and quality web sources, with smart tools to track, analyze and visualize research.

Updated daily, it includes the abstracts and references of 15,000 peer-reviewed journals from more than 4,000 international publishers with broad interdisciplinary coverage. In addition, Scopus offers seamless linking to full-text articles and other library resources and also integrates web and patent searches.

If your Shibboleth handle service URL is https://shib.some-institute.edu/idp, and you want to point your users to the Journal Analyzer on Scopus (http://www.scopus.com/scopus/source/eval.url), then the session initiation URL or WAYFless URL for this is:

https://shib.some-institute.edu/idp?target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.scopus.com%2Fscopus%2Fsource%2Feval.url&shire=https%3A%2F%2Fscauth.scopus.com%2FSHIRE&providerId=https%3a%2f%2fscauth.scopus.com%2f

In principle, all Scopus URLs can be used as target URLs - as long as you remember to use a https:// prefix.
