description: >-
  Elsevier publishes a small set of client-side embeds for putting Scopus data on a third-party
  page. They are copy-paste HTML fragments and a widget repository, not a component library —
  there is no loader script, no npm package and no versioned distribution.
families:
- name: Cited-by embed
  kind: html-fragment
  loader: none
  url: https://dev.elsevier.com/examples.html
  description: >-
    An <object> (or <iframe>, for Edge/IE) pointed at
    https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/citation-count with httpAccept=text/html, which
    renders the Scopus cited-by count for a DOI inline on a publisher's page.
  requires: an API key in the URL query string
  note: >-
    Elsevier's own recommended embed puts the API key in a query parameter inside page markup,
    where it is visible to every visitor. Worth flagging to anyone adopting it.
- name: Scopus integration widgets
  kind: javascript-widgets
  loader: none
  url: https://github.com/ElsevierDev/scopusWidgets
  registry: null
  version: null

  description: Client-side widgets for surfacing Scopus content in a host page.
  status: archived
  note: >-
    Repository is ARCHIVED and read-only; never published to npm, so there is no version to
    record.
- name: Search result embeds
  kind: xslt-transformed-response
  loader: none
  url: https://dev.elsevier.com/examples.html
  description: >-
    Two worked examples (Article Search, powered by ScienceDirect Search + Serial Title; Scopus
    Search) that fetch the API in the browser under CORS and render the XML response through an
    XSLT stylesheet.
  note: >-
    Depends on the CORS allowance attached to the key — by default that allowance is
    https://dev.elsevier.com, so these must be re-provisioned by Elsevier to run on a third-party
    origin.
