Linking
Open URL / Link resolvers
ScienceDirect supports the OpenURL industry standard, which can be used to create custom links between content items. Open URL syntax is used by link resolver software to create links to the authoritative, full-text version of an article from wherever a reference to that article exists. This greatly improves navigation across different literature sources.
