We have just become ScienceDirect customers. Previously we
have subscribed to some of the Elsevier Current Trends titles via
the BioMedNet service. I have been surprised to find that while
many of the Current Trends titles are up-to-date on ScienceDirect,
there are exceptions, e.g. Trends in Cell Biology, Trends in
Parasitology, Current Opinion in Biotechnology, Current Opinion in
Neurobiology, Current Opinion in Microbiology. These are all one
or two issues behind on ScienceDirect in comparison wth
Biomednet.
Can other customers advise me whether ScienceDirect is routinely
slower at loading these titles than BioMedNet?
I have queried it with Elsevier but was just given a bland assurance
that they always load issues as soon as possible.
