Knovel resource looks at mining engineering
Mining Engineering and Extractive Metallurgy, a new subject area from web-based information provider Knovel, promises to provide must- have guidance on managing critical health and safety issues in a high-risk industry. It also promises practical information on improving mineral processing effi ciency to lower the cost of production, maximise the value of extraction efforts and maintain competitive prices for globally- available commodity materials. Mining Engineering and
Extractive Metallurgy should assist engineers in solving complicated rock mechanics, water infi ltration, erosion, mineral extraction and processing, and transportation problems on demanding timelines.
The new subject area, which will launch in May, will include material from societies, publishers, and US Government regulatory agencies including ASTM, Cambridge University Press, Elsevier, Wiley, ICMM, CDC/NIOSH, and others.

Tool hopes to enhance research evaluation
SciVal Strata, from Elsevier, is a new web-based research performance tool. It claims to offer users the fl exibility to construct relevant contextual data to evaluate research teams or individual researchers, using a range of indicators based on Scopus data. SciVal Strata can be used by all members of a subscribing institution to demonstrate research excellence and to secure, allocate and measure return- on-investment of funding.
The tool is also expected to improve recruitment, promotion and collaboration processes. SciVal Strata enables users to envision alternate research groups by ‘dragging and dropping’ any researcher across the globe into hypothetical teams and gauge expected changes in performance by benchmarking ‘fantasy’ groups against existing groups.
