Mizzou Libraries has set up a trial of Scopus AI until May 4th.
Scopus AI is a search tool that utilizes generative AI (GenAI) technology to assist users in retrieving and summarizing information. Built in close collaboration with the academic community, it provides insights by surfacing information from metadata, abstracts, and author profiles in Scopus, Elsevier’s source-neutral and curated abstract and citation database.
You can access Scopus AI from the Scopus homepage and select the ‘Scopus AI’ tab.
You can provide feedback on ScopusAI at this link: https://tinyurl.com/3zrura4v
If you have questions about the database or how to use it, contact your librarian at ask@missouri.libanswers.com.
*A database trial is used to evaluate the resource and gather feedback from users to help us plan for collection changes in the future.

Mizzou Libraries have acquired the SAGE Impact Collection, expanding access to a wide range of digital resources that support research, teaching and student success. The collection provides perpetual access to SAGE learning resources—including academic books, videos, datasets, business cases, and Sage Research Methods alongside the SAGE Premier Journal Package, which includes more than 1,000 peer-reviewed journals.
Vice Provost Kara Whatley states, “This acquisition represents a strategic investment in the university’s academic mission, and is in alignment with institutional priorities around affordability, research excellence and digital learning. By securing the collection as a portfolio‑level acquisition, Mizzou Libraries can deliver significantly more content and long‑term value than would be possible through individual purchases.”
The acquisition also includes a Read & Publish agreement that covers open access publishing costs for University of Missouri authors in SAGE journals, helping remove financial barriers to sharing research. With seamless Canvas integration, accessibility features, and dedicated faculty engagement support, the SAGE Impact Collection strengthens affordability, interdisciplinary learning and research visibility across campus.

Publishing open access is a great way to keep research open and retain your copyright. We do understand that publishing open access comes with a financial commitment that you wouldn’t necessarily have with traditional publishing.
To help offset costs, Mizzou Libraries has agreements with several publishers that offer discounts and support of article processing charges (APCs) for the following journals.
Want to learn more? Talk with your subject librarian about open access in your area.
Visit here for a complete list of discounts and APC support.
Starting January 1, 2026, Mizzou Libraries has a Read & Publish agreement with the American Chemical Society. Authors will have the option during the publication process to have their open-access fees covered under this agreement. Click here for a list of ACS journals included in the UMECO Consortium agreement, which includes the University of Missouri.
The University of Missouri has a read-and-publish deal with Sage for open access for MU authors on its complete premier journals package for the calendar year 2026. Here is a spreadsheet of the Sage premier journals.
The University of Missouri has a read and publish agreement with Springer for open access for MU authors on all titles except Nature and Scientific American titles. The effective dates are January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2028.
