How the API works
Scopus is a leading source-neutral abstract and citation database. The API interface will harvest metadata from faculty publications indexed in Scopus for easy reviewing and uploading to the IR, creating instant records that reflect your institution’s full research output.
If you are just launching a Digital Commons IR, this API means you can quickly populate it and push it live in record time. Routine harvesting of Scopus metadata ensures your Digital Commons IR is easily kept up to date.
