Authors will continue to receive quarterly email updates for the first year following publication, but the links to the reports will be updated on a monthly basis, meaning authors are welcome to visit the dashboard between emails. The service is free. The Article Usage Reports complement our existing CiteAlert service, which comes into effect once an author's article has been cited.
In fact, it was the winning entry in an internal Elsevier innovation competition. A short while later, it was picked up by Dr. She explained that the service will also "maximize the outreach" of journal articles by giving the author tools to promote their papers via social media and then track how successful they have been.
Right after her team announced the pilot, she received emails from her publishing colleagues at Elsevier. One publisher wrote: "This is wonderful news. I have had so many of my editors ask if we would be offering this type of service to our authors and they will be thrilled to hear that this will soon be an option. Another pointed out that she is often asked by societies, editors and authors to provide usage stats by article.
Feedback from the authors involved in the pilot was also encouraging. Here is a sample of comments from the survey:. The next step is to explore linking the Article Usage Reports to other services, for example, citations and social media mentions. Another avenue to explore will be the benchmarking of the usage to other articles published in the same journal or field.
The site also hosts the quarterly Editors' Update newsletter, for which she is Editor-in-Chief. Willems, who is based in Amsterdam, is also on the team behind the Elsevier Journal Editors' Conferences program. I think this is a nice initiative and surely a welcome service for authors. How would this service work with something like ImpactStory or altmetric.
Hi William, thanks for your comment. We would like to add many more metrics to this service in the future, including social media mentions. Giving a full picture of an article's metrics will allow the author of an article to see directly how social media, academic network and sharing activities can influence the article's usage.
This will also allow the author to play an active role in the promotion of his or her article, and get feedback on how that influences the article's impact. Indeed, this is a beneficial service for authors. How one could register for such a service? Thanks in advance.
Hi Armen, If the service is available to the journal, the lead author should receive an alert. Is our journal Redox Biology covered by this-I am Co-editor in chief? I would like this to be available for our associate editors on a journal basis and for authors on an individual basis. We do not have an impact factor yet so this is critically important to us. Thanks Victor. Dear Victor Thanks for your interest. Yes, the service is already available for Redox Biology so your authors should already receive alerts.
Please feel free to contact me at i. Best wishes, Inez. Hey, I am not a corresponding author. However, I am a co-author for articles in Sciencedirect. How can I see how many times my papers have been downloaded?
Dear Bankim Thanks for your interest. At the moment we don't provide such reports for co-authors unfortunately. However, we do encourage the corresponding authors to share their reports with their co-authors. If you have co-authored any recent articles last 6 months , I would recommend getting in contact with the lead author as he might have received a report.
Kind regards, Inez. Great Ideas and Innovations in Publications Industry. I admire and respect Elsevier, and pleasure to associate with Elsevier Team. I published an article late last year in a ScienceDirect journal, but never received an email with a link to my dashboard. How do I go about getting access to this? I'm curious to see my Usage Report. Also, are these reports generated for ScienceDirect articles published prior to as well, or no?
Dear L. Thank you for your interest in the service. For your article, you should receive your first Usage Report about 3 months after publication. I'm afraid that since we are expaning this service gradually, we currently can not generate reports for older articles. Best wishes, Inez van Korlaar. I wish to receive support to be able to track citation of my publications.
I also wish to know how to upload articles published but not available to the general reading public. Hi, I am not a corresponding author. However, I am a first author for articles in Sciencedirect.
How can I see how many times my papers have been downloaded or cited? I have received the report of an article that I published last year on an Elsevier journal. It was interesting and informative, however it misses to give some information on the statistics of the journal. How many times is an article from this journal downloaded? With this data I could compare my impact with the others. At the moment I don't know whether the paper was downloaded many or only a few times, whether its impact has been high or low.
This sounds like an interesting development. However, I do not understand how I, as an author, can access this report? Is it only available once the e-mail has been sent out, or can I find it somewhere?
Dear Harald. Thank you for your interest in the usage reports. As an author, you will start receiving reports approximately 3 months after publication of your article. The e-mail will contain a link which you can bookmark for future reference. Thank you for the response. The Guide. Pillai is one of the Best Selling books by Indian authors. Ans: 1. Leo Tolstoy, 2.
