Elsevier is a global information analytics business that helps institutions and professionals advance healthcare, open science, and improve performance.
Uses an Elsevier Developer Portal API key to access Elsevier's Scopus and ScienceDirect data, including full-text search for terms inside the body of Elsevier papers and journal quality metrics (SJR, CiteScore, quartiles). Includes a diagnose_connection tool that reports which tools a given Elsevier/Scopus subscription supports and why others fail, and a quota status check.
Enables AI assistants such as Claude to search academic literature, retrieve abstracts and full text, trace citations and multi-generation citation networks, and analyze author profiles, journal quality and bibliometrics from a conversation. It works with Scopus by default and can run the same analyses against OpenAlex without a subscription.
