Science Direct database to have service improvements -- possible minor disruptions...

We are keen on making our users' experience with ScienceDirect and Scopus as smooth, friendly, and effective as possible. Based on user feedback we plan new releases to further improve our products.

The next release is scheduled for Saturday, December 1, 2012 EST, and will extend our full internet browser coverage to include Google Chrome and Safari. During this scheduled maintenance, there may be minor disruptions to some ScienceDirect and Scopus functionality.

For more details about the changes, please check our blog.

We encourage you to share this information with your users to minimize the impact in the event of a disruption to their research schedule.

We apologize for the inconvenience while we improve Elsevier products.

Kind regards,

The ScienceDirect and Scopus Team
