SAE International Partners With Elsevier

Under the terms of a newly-announced agreement, SAE International's engineering content is now indexed and available via Elsevier's online solutions Scopus (www.scopus.com), the abstract and citation database, and Compendex on Engineering Village (www.engineeringvillage2.com).

Elsevier (www.elsevier.com) says the ability to index SAE International's content in Elsevier's databases is a monumental development, as now engineers and researchers can search and retrieve SAE's content in the context of other publishers, especially in interdisciplinary contexts, such as O&G (including biofuels, fuel cells, alternative energy), plastics, aerospace, electronics, transportation, HVAC, physics, and lubricants.

SAE International (www.sae.org) is a global association of more than 128,000 engineers and related technical experts in the aerospace, automotive, and commercial-vehicle industries. Under the agreement, engineers and researchers can access SAE International's more than 20,000 technical papers written between 1906 and 1979, as well as SAE International's entire library of 88,000 documents utilizing subject-specific indexing and contextualized searching via Elsevier's online solutions.

"This new partnership is an important step forward in expanding SAE International's reach into the global mobility community," says Thomas Drozda, SAE International's director of program and product development. "By teaming with Elsevier, access to SAE technical information is expanded into many new sectors and industries not traditionally reached by SAE."
