Korean research added to Web of Science
The Intellectual Property and Science business of Thomson Reuters is collaborating with the National Research Foundation of Korea to make content from the Korean Citation Index (KCI) accessible via the Web of Science. This initiative expects to bring greater visibility and improved access to research being produced in South Korea, particularly in social sciences and humanities. The KCI content will be made available as a new dataset, the KCI Korean Journal Database, on the Web of Science platform. The KCI Korean Journal Database will connect to the leading indices within the Web of Science, including the Data
Citation IndexSM, MEDLINE and BIOSIS Citation Index. This should enable researchers to review and analyse the regional content.
The database will provide access to text from 2,000 scholarly journals, over 1,800 of which are new to the Web of Science. The addition of the KCI Korean Journal Database to the Web of Science will follow a similar model to that of the SciELO Citation Index, which was integrated in the Web of Science in early 2014, as well as the Chinese Science Citation Database, hosted within the Web of Science since 2008.

OCLC releases bibliographic work descriptions as linked data
OCLC has made 197 million bibliographic work descriptions – WorldCat Works – available as linked data.
This promises to improve discovery of library collections through a variety of popular sites and web services. According to OCLC, release of this data marks another step toward providing interconnected linked data views of WorldCat. Library collections can be exposed to the wider web community, integrating these
collections and making them more easily discoverable. ‘Bibliographic data stored in traditional record formats has reached its limits of efficiency and utility,’ said Richard Wallis, OCLC technology evangelist. ‘New technologies, influenced by the Web, now enable us to move toward managing WorldCat data as entities –such as “Works,” “People,” ‘Places” and more – as part of the global Web of data.’

SAGE acquires OA neurochemistry journal
SAGE has acquired the open-access journal ASN Neuro, the official publication of the American Society of Neurochemistry (ASN). The journal is said to provide glial and neuro scholars with high-quality research articles and reviews that cover recent advances across the breadth of the cellular and molecular
neurosciences. The research is broken down into nine ‘knowledge environments’: chemistry, genetics, metabolism, development, glia, repair, degeneration, immunity, and signalling. These groupings allow papers to be discovered by specific field.

Knovel Software Development Kit enables integration with Microsoft SharePoint
Knovel has introduced the Knovel Software Development Kit (SDK) for Microsoft SharePoint. This toolkit should allow enterprises using SharePoint as a Knowledge Management System to integrate more easily with Knovel’s engineering resources. When users research topics and query internal references on SharePoint, they will also find search results highlighting resources available on Knovel. This integration promises to not only improve productivity, but
also create greater awareness of resources that are available in an enterprise.
Last summer, Knovel launched a new cloud-based platform that was re-designed to ensure trusted content is discoverable, answers are actionable and the overall experience is seamless – easily integrating into the engineer’s workflow. With the new platform, Knovel plans to offer APIs that allow integration with a variety of enterprise systems.
