Elsevier ens fa saber que al 2014 desapareixerà el seu motor de cerca especialitzat SCIRUS i de fet a partir d'ara ja deixen d'actualitzar-lo amb nous recursos.

Segons Elsevier, Scirus ha perdut competitivitat amb altres cercadors i a més, prefereixen centrar-se en el desenvolupament d'altres productes.

Reviseu si el teniu enllaçat des d'alguna pàgina web per esborrar-lo.

Dear User,

With regret, I am writing to inform you that Scirus, Elsevier’s free science-specific search engine, will be discontinued beginning in early 2014. While a firm retirement date has not yet been set, I am told that it will likely be sometime by or before 31 March 2014.

I realize that this decision may disappoint you. The reality is that Scirus has lost its competitive edge to other platforms and services. Rather than attempt to catch up, Elsevier has instead made the difficult decision to retire Scirus and redirect even more attention to the continuous improvement of our core products. The company fully expects that these efforts will yield more impact—and therefore be of greater benefit—to meeting the needs of our customers and their researcher communities, and to better serve our content partners.

Effectively immediately, Elsevier has stopped adding new content sources for indexing on Scirus, and we will no longer add or support any new Open URL library partners. If your content is currently indexed, it will continue to be updated in Scirus over the next few months but indexing will stop shortly before Scirus is retired.

We remain grateful for your interest in and/or contributions to Scirus, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with you in other ways. Please let me know if you have further question about this decision.

Kind regards,

Edward Wedel-Larsen
