Wikipedia Library access
Elsevier is offering free accounts to its published content online on ScienceDirect to help write Wikipedia content in a great variety of topics, from health to astronomy. To facilitate verification in more specific areas of the encyclopedia, the accounts have been split across three access collections:
- Health & Life Sciences (See the included journals, books,[dead link] incl. includes reference modules in Chemistry and reference modules in Biomedical Sciences.)
- Social & Behavioral Sciences (see the included journals and books[dead link])
- Physical Sciences (see the included journals and books[dead link] incl. reference module in Chemistry and reference module in Earth Systems))
Wikipedia editors may apply for one of these ScienceDirect access collections according to their area of specialty; their account will be valid for a period of one year.
