Elsevier Developer Portal

Definition: the client application is any website or part of a website, operated by an individual or an organization, that wants to show metrics associated with a researcher or institution. Examples are:

• a researcher's own home page, listing her/his CV, publications, etc.
• a university web site that showcases individual affiliated researchers and their work, including publications and publication metrics.
• a university web site that showcases the work of the university or a department as a whole, including publication metrics.

We allow the SciVal API to be be a source of that data under the following conditions:

Use of SciVal metrics through the API requires an active SciVal entitlement and any applicable approval. A requirement that the client application be freely available or non-commercial relates only to the application/use case and does not make SciVal data or API access freely available.

• The client application must be freely available for use and non-commercial. This also means that it should be free of advertising.
• The client application must obtain an API key by registering here.
• The owner/operator of the client application must have a SciVal license.
• The client application must run within, and execute the API calls, from the user's browser and not proxy the calls through a server-side component.
• The client application must refer, and link back, to SciVal as described in the SciVal Attribution Guide.
