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

[John Cumbers]

I guess that it is time for a larger discussion of the way we collaborate
with publishers on oww.  (at the next sc meeting?) It could probably not
hurt to see a demo of this working though, we could always link to scholar,
cite-base and theirs.  I can contact him we want this, ask to see a demo,
and table the decision until our next meeting?
