ScienceDirect and Scopus schedule outage August 2-3

Hi Everyone,

Please see the following message from Elsevier about access to ScienceDirect & Scopus.

Thanks,

James.

From 05:30 EDT on Saturday August 2, to 01:30 EDT on Sunday August 3 (09:30 UTC to August 3, 05:30 UTC), ScienceDirect and Scopus will be unavailable due to an upgrade of the administrative system that will improve the access and entitlements process to both platforms.
As a consequence, Email alerts and RSS feeds for ScienceDirect and Scopus will not be sent from 11:30 EDT on August 1 (15:30 UTC) until the downtime has finished. Email alerts and RSS feeds can still be created until 05:30 EDT on August 2 (09:30 UTC), but they will not be sent until after the upgrade is completed.

One of our largest back-end upgrades, the new system will cater to your needs in what is now a more complex scientific community due to increasing internationalization and cross-border collaboration.

The main tangible benefit for you and your users will be simplified access to Scopus and ScienceDirect. For instance, individuals will have single login details for access to all of their entitled content regardless of access point.

We apologize for any inconvenience this downtime may cause you and look forward to offering you this superior service in the future.
