VIEWs

Elsevier APIs implement a concept we call a 'VIEW'. Submitted as a parameter, a VIEW is used to deliver specific metadata in an API's payload. Some VIEWs are restricted based on subscription status to an Elsevier product. Some APIs do not utilize the VIEW parameter. VIEWs, where applicable, are documented below. You can see the metadata available for a VIEW by clicking a given API's [Views] link.
