On February 1, 2014, Scopus released a new more action driven design.  New redesign features include:

  • Items or icons will only appear active when an action is performed.  For example, the search history on the home page is not shown until a search is performed.
  • Export options will be available when results are selected to export.
  • Search results are easier to scan with options that appear only when results are selected.
  • Author and Affiliation profiles have been condensed to optimize scanning.
  • The reference manager Mendeley has been added to the export options.
  • Once export options have been selected and saved, the next export can be done with just one click.
