[Web4lib] Scopus Alerts (Lite) foriPhone

[gerrymck]

Take your research with you.

If you’re passionate about your research project, you probably have ideas
coming to you in your sleep. Now you don’t even need to get out of bed to
search for the latest content: reach for your iPhone and use the Scopus
Alerts (Lite) mobile app to find articles, create alerts, make notes, and
share links instantly.

Features & Functionality
Whatever your science, when you’re away from the lab but need to keep in
touch with the latest research, use the Scopus Alerts (Lite) mobile app to:

• Search across thousands of  scholarly journals from more than 5000
international publishers;
• Save the important abstracts in one place for easy look-up;
• Set up and review email alerts for your favourite searches;
• Set up email alerts for when an author cites a particular article;
• Annotate records with your own notes;
• Share article links through email or twitter.

Searching & Saving:
When a speaker references some research at a conference, look it up straight
away and see who the authors are, where they’re from and what other work
they cited. Store article details in one accessible place and save the links
to read later.

Alerting:
If you’re a published author you’ll want to know when one of your peers
cites your work. Set up an email alert on any article and receive a
notification when someone cites it. You can also create alerts for your
favourite searches so that when anything is published that relates to your
specific field, you’ll know straight away.

Annotating & Sharing:
Write notes and append them to an article for use back in the lab; you can
send article links to yourself via email to read when you’ve more time. Or
share links to articles with colleagues and staff with questions and
comments attached. If it’s a really significant paper you can share the link
with the world through twitter.

Next Up? We pay close attention to your reviews in Apple's iTunes store;
they fuel future developments both for this app and for future apps. Please
