Download up to 20 articles from ScienceDirect at the same time!

ScienceDirect has a brand new function!

It's called Document Download Manager and enables you to download up to 20 full text articles at a time whilst still doing normal searching and working in ScienceDirect.

Download Manager enables researchers to automatically name downloaded full-text articles according to their own naming convention and pre-select a preferred destination for downloads. This helps reduce the irritation factor of lost files, and makes the process much more intuitive. .

Confused?

Here is how it works: (Click on the images to enlarge them)

Step 1: Do a search on ScienceDirect

When you get the list of results you will see a new button just above the results (on the image marked in black) - Download Pdf's. This button allows the downloading of more than 1 full text article at a time.

You can either mark certain articles and then click on Download Pdf's - or you can click on it without marking any items. (If no items have been marked you will get a pop-up stating that the first 20 articles will be downloaded.)

Step 2: Make sure the pop-ups are not blocked

Step 3: Click on the Download Pdf's link

Step 4: Choose the name of the file as well as where you want the pdf's to be downloaded to (e.g. flash drive, specific folder etc)





You can give your own naming convention to the list:


Once you are down naming the file and choosing a place for the pdf's you can see the status of the files as they are being downloaded



Once the download is complete you will see an icon of the pdf:


If you go to where you've saved the files you will see all of them are there:


I think this will save a great deal of time for researchers since you can still go on with the searching in ScienceDirect, while your files are being downloaded in the background.
