/PRNewswire/ --

Elsevier, a world-leading publisher of scientific, technical and medical

information products and services, announced that Scopus, the world's largest

abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed research literature, is

interoperable with the Lattes Platform,

Brazil's

national database for research

and science activity, through a newly developed application.

The new Curriculo Lattes Application links Scopus to the Lattes Platform

providing easier access to the extensive research author data contained in

Curriculo Lattes, a part of the Lattes Platform, which contains the résumés of

Brazilian researchers, students and technical professionals.

Developed using the Elsevier Application Framework, the Curriculo Lattes App

will be featured on each Scopus Author Details page. Currently 11,000 Brazilian

authors in Curriculo Lattes are mapped to matching Scopus author IDs allowing

users to access relevant profiles easily between the two databases. More

Brazilian researchers will soon be mapped in Scopus and added to the

application.

"The link to Curriculo Lattes greatly enhances

Brazil's

science research

community by allowing more efficiency, visibility, and connectivity amongst

Brazilian researchers," said Dante Cid, Director South America, Elsevier Science

& Technology.

"It is a significant step in our commitment to collaborate with

Brazilian institutions to increase the international visibility of their research

output."
