Scirus is a comprehensive science and engineering specific search engine that searches open-access websites as well as peer-reviewed content from publisher sites.  With over 450 million scientific items indexed at last count, it allows researchers to search for not only journal content but also scientists’ homepages, courseware, pre-print server material, patents and institutional repository and website information.

Scirus is also linked from Databases/Article indexes for Engineering or it can be found by searching on our Library’s online catalog in the ‘Title’ field.

Thomas Fuller, SF Environmental Policy Examiner, analyzed nanotechnology patents using ‘Advanced Search’ feature in scirus.   He found records of 8,007 patent filings for nanotechnology.  According to Fuller, “Of those 8,007 patents that have nanotechnology in the title, abstract or text, 7,007 were filed in the past 5 years.  That’s 88%. Almost a quarter–23%–were filed last year alone. That’s one reason why I think nanotechnology will be to this century what electricity was to the last.” He also writes, “the recovery of the American economy and progress to unprecedented heights over the next 10 years would be led by nanotechnology, bio-technology and robotics.”

A collaboration between the A.J. Drexel Nanotechnology Institute (DNI) and the A.J. Drexel Plasma Institute (DPI) has enabled high-impact research results, published in the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition. The paper, “Nanoscale Corona Discharge in Liquids Enabling Nanosecond Optical Emission Spectroscopy” has been selected as a VIP (very important paper).  Only 5% of all manuscripts submitted to this journal receive this honor.

Drexel IEEE Graduate Forum in collaboration with Drexel University Libraries presents a workshop on ENDNOTE in the Library on May 9th. The workshop will feature the use of major engineering databases such as IEEE Xplore, INSPEC, Ei Compendex, Web of Science, ACM Digital Library and ScienceDirect. Examples of citations from these databases will be used to integrate them into a word document.

See: Electrical and Computer Engineering Research to access these databases

Date: May 9th
Location: Room L33, Hagerty Library
Time: 3 pm

Millions of researchers, scholarly writers, students, and librarians use EndNote, to search online bibliographic databases, organize their references, images and PDFs in any language, and create bibliographies and figure lists instantly. For more information, please refer to: about ENDNOTE

Rexa is a digital library and search engine covering the computer science research literature and the people who create it. Rexa aims to facilitate research progress and collaboration by providing efficient browsing, search, associations and analysis among papers, people, organizations, venues and research communities. Rexa was developed by the members of the Information Extraction and Synthesis Laboratory at the Department of Computer Science, University of Massachusetts. The primary distinguishing goal of Rexa is to create first-class, cross-referenced objects not only of research papers, but also people, universities, conferences, journals, grants, and research groups—and furthermore to leverage this inter-connected information to better understand and facilitate the progress of scholarly research.
