FAQ

Questions Elsevier ScienceDirect owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I search for specific authors or titles using this server?

    Yes! Use the search_sciencedirect capability with specific query syntax like auth(name) for authors or tak(query) for Title/Abstract/Keywords to find exactly what you need.

  • 02

    How do I check if my institution has access to a specific paper?

    You can use the get_article_entitlement capability. By providing the DOI or PII, the agent will verify if the authenticated user or institution has the rights to access the full text.

  • 03

    Can I retrieve metadata for a journal if I only have the ISSN?

    Absolutely. Use the get_serial_title capability and provide the ISSN. The agent will return the journal's metadata, including title and subject classifications.
