• AIP released a new Web service that provides AIP-journal subscribers with cited-by article counts and links to the more than 33 million records in the Scopus database. Scopus, a product of Elsevier, is the largest abstract and citation database of research literature, drawing from 15,000 peer-reviewed journals from more than 4,000 publishers worldwide.

The new cited-by feature will allow AIP journal subscribers to immediately see how many times a particular article has been cited in the vast number of journals covered by Scopus. Clicking on the cited-by link takes the user to a page on the Scopus platform that lists the article’s bibliographic details. "Full-Text" links allow users to check their library’s holdings and link to the full-text articles to which they are entitled via a link resolver.
