Elsevier Launches QUOSA for iPadElsevier Launches QUOSA for iPad Application to Give Mobile Access to Copyright Compliant Literature PR Newswire AMSTERDAM, March 26, 2014 App-based access to cloud- based library solution solves mobility challenges for Medical Affairs teams and Medical Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, today announced the launch of QUOSA for iPad® supporting professionals in the life sciences, particularly Medical Affairs and Medical Science Liaisons. The iPad app, a further development of the QUOSA literature management tool, enables Medical Affairs teams and Medical Science Liaisons to access pre-approved and copyright compliant literature, which can be read offline, from a central repository. It allows users to find articles from sources such as PubMed and Embase while on the move, resolving issues with appropriate use of content and lack of Internet connectivity during travel, while significantly improving users' productivity and enabling timely meeting preparation. Without QUOSA, important literature may be stored in shared drives that do not alert users when new, relevant content is available. Consumer data storage and sharing tools are generally not approved for corporate use due to security concerns, while file sizes can quickly make email unwieldy.
