What if the path not taken is the path to discovery?
Combining cutting-edge technology and essential content, ScienceDirect Topics is a research enhancement that brings the path of discovery to you.
Your path to discovery
Researchers at every stage of their scientific careers encounter unknown terms and concepts and require background and contextual knowledge to progress. But finding one’s path through a literature search can be overwhelming. It is easy to be caught up in siloed information, untrusted sources and site hopping just to explore a single unknown idea or topic.
That is why we created ScienceDirect Topics. Our free topic pages provide readers with a comprehensive database of reliable background and contextual knowledge making it easy to get up to speed with new and unfamiliar concepts.
