Scopus aims to be the most comprehensive Scientific, Medical, Technical and Social Science abstract and citation database containing all relevant literature, irrespective of medium or commercial model. This means that we actively look beyond traditional types of publications, and follow closely any new and alternative publication activities. From the Scopus interface, users have access to a wealth of information on the scientific Web, beyond traditional peer-reviewed publications. Scirus, www.scirus.com, the Web search engine for scientific information, is fully integrated into the Scopus interface. It offers users access to pre-print servers (e.g. Cogprints), Open Archives (e.g. ArXiv.org), patents (Japanese, World and European Patent Office and US and UK Patent and Trademark Office) and institutional repositories such as T-Space from University of Toronto, Canada.
