Scirus: Search over 200 million science-specific sites


================================================================

The Surf Report - vol. 65                        www.askSam.com

Search engines are all different in the Web sites they cover,

and the way they classify these Web sites. I recently came

across Scirus, a search engine that focuses only on Web pages

containing scientific and medical content.

 

Also in this issue, a brand new eBook of medical terminology, and

a special offer on Counterspy, our favorite anti-spyware

application.

 

It's a great time to visit Florida - reserve a spot for our

March askSam training class. Spaces are limited.

1) Scirus - Search over 200 million science-specific sites

 

Scirus is the most comprehensive science-specific search engine

on the Internet. Driven by the latest search engine technology,

Scirus searches over 200 million science-specific Web pages,

enabling you to quickly:

 

. Pinpoint scientific, scholarly, technical and medical data.

. Find latest reports, peer-reviewed articles, patents, pre

prints and journals that other search engines miss.

. Offer unique functionalities designed for scientists and

researchers.

 

Scirus...

 

. Filters out non-scientific sites. For example, if you search

on REM, Google finds the rock group - Scirus finds information

on sleep, among other things

. Finds peer-reviewed articles such as PDF and PostScript files,

which are often invisible to other search engines.

. Searches the most comprehensive combination of web

information, preprint servers, digital archives, repositories

and patent and journal databases. Scirus goes deeper than the

first two levels of a Web site, thereby revealing much more

relevant information.

"askSam is an essential part of my software tool chest. I can research and collect data from anywhere and any source. Once it is in askSam I can edit, rearrange, organize, and search the information easily. Then I can present it and make it totally useful for other people via the web or CD. Fantastic!"
