Science Direct Temporarily Down

A message from Elsevier:
ScienceDirect will be unavailable on Saturday, February 24th for approximately 9 hours starting at 06:00 AM EST (11:00 GMT). During this time engineers will be implementing a large-scale rebuilding program on some of core aspects of the platform’s underlying technologies, which will help ensure that the system continues to provide a high level of reliability in the coming years.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this will cause to ScienceDirect users, which we hope we can minimise by providing this advance notice. Users who log in will see a notice saying that the system is temporarily unavailable.
