== Summary ==
[[ScienceDirect]] is an online bibliographical database run by Elsevier. In addition to academic publications, the website maintains machine-generated "topic pages" consisting of quotations from publications in the database. These topic pages change over time, presenting a challenge to [[WP:V|verifiability]]. Citations should be made to the actual, underlying publications quoted by the topic page.
