About ScienceDirect

ScienceDirect is Elsevier’s scholarly publishing platform, featuring journal articles and book chapters across a wide range of disciplines. Unlike Scopus, which provides abstracts and citation data, ScienceDirect offers full-text content for subscribed collections.

The two are often used together: Scopus to discover and map the literature, and ScienceDirect to retrieve the full text.
