Elsevier Scopus on campaign in Holland
According to WoWter almost "tout" university library land was in Utrecht for a presentation of Scopus. I'll expect more to hear from the Groningen representatives later this week, perhaps somebody has put some ppt's on the web?
For now the most interesting for me to hear was the fact that Scopus will launch their new author identification tool on May 12th this year.
UBU staff tested & demonstrated Scopus and made comparisons with Google Scholar and Web of Science but i am not sure yet if they "discovered" many new stuff compared to for instance the Pipp-review, but according to Wouter they should publish it! His list of 2006 reviews about this issue is nice. Maybe it would be nice to share this with the CitULike community? Maybe even a special group for the comparison between Google Scholar, Web of Science, Scopus, Microsoft Academic Search, and in the future Yahoo and ...?

Hi Guus,
It was actually a cooperation between Utrecht and Elsevier. But Utrecht who dit the research. I think Utrecht's review was more comprehensive than Pipp (which they were aware of). Peter Laarhoven was from your site was present, so ask him.
Acoording to Jeroen, they are planning to publich the results in a (OA) Journal.
Hi Wouter,
Of course Peter was there, i will ask him next week. He is building his own little list of Scopus reviews and others to feed the discussions in Groningen.
I expext him to add stuff from Utrecht to it. I think I will add them to CiteUlike.
What about your Google blog?
Guus did you in the mean time retrieve the report on Scopus I blogged about two days ago. Interesting reading isn't it!
Wouter
