Introducing Scirus: Elsevier’s shot at the title

Abstract

This article reviews Scirus, Elsevier Science’s search engine. Scirus is advertised as the world’s first scientific search engine. It indexes freely‐available Web sites, as well as proprietary content owned by Elsevier and its partners. Scirus was awarded “best specialty search engine” by Search Engine Watch, and may spark a trend whereby other content providers index their content with discipline‐specific Web sites.
