[OWW-SC] Fwd: Integrate Scopus cited by counts on your platform

[Julius Lucks]

Sounds like they want us to drive a lot of users their way.  I am not  
a big fan of Elsevier personally, and am not too keen on driving our  
users in their direction.  The idea is neat though.  Isn't Cite-Base  
somewhat of an open alternative?  Perhaps we could do something  
similar with them?
