The inaugural Elsevier/NUS SgCodeJam24 - a 24-hour programming contest which aims to tackle this information problem. Elsevier's application based content platform allows access to over 10 million full-text scientific articles, 2600 journals, and more than 41 million abstracts, as well as scientific web search results via Open APIs. Registered teams will have 24 hours to create a SciVerse application to benefit scientists, librarians and students and further enhance search and discovery of scientific knowledge and information systems.
