Libraries using both Argos from Scitility and EBSCO will be able to display clear retraction alerts directly within EBSCO Discovery Service and EBSCOhost. When an article has been retracted, a visible link will notify users of the retraction and seamlessly guide them to Argos, where they can view authoritative details about the reason for the retraction and its implications.
After a search runs and there are duplicates present (common in multi-database searching and EDS), the hit count will display Total Hits (including duplicates) until the end of the results are reached, at which point the New UI will continue to display the final deduplicated hit count. The New UI will no longer show an "Initial deduped hit count."
‘Toast’ messages meet standards by being persistent (user dismissed) and are used for system error messages only.
Users can edit combined searches in addition to individual searches.
EBSCO is enhancing search and journal alerts by enabling multiple designated email recipients. Alert creators can now add up to fifty (50) email addresses per alert. Recipient emails will also include an unsubscribe option, allowing individuals to opt out of a specific alert at any time.
The Related Topic Overviews that display on the Topic Discovery Pages work using a search string on the backend. Sometimes, this search string would include the Topic Overview that is already featured at the top of the Topic Discovery Page, so you would see it twice. These are now deduplicated so that any Topic Overview that displays at the top of the page can no longer appear under “Related Topic Overviews” as well.
Additional metadata will be added to the People Pages Works list, the Cited by and References tabs on the detailed record page, and the Cited by mini results list on the main search result page experience. The following metadata elements will be added:
- Publication issue number
- Publication volume number
- Publication date
- Article start/end pages and total pages
Ask This Document lets you ask questions and receive answers drawn directly from the document itself. The feature analyzes each question, understands its context, and responds using only the information contained within the document—nothing more, nothing less. Ask This Document intelligently identifies relevant sections, surfaces precise answers, and will even point you to specific areas of the document were the information is found.
April release will be to a closed group of beta participants. This functionality will release to all customers in July 2026.
EBSCOhost Advanced Search users will have the ability to leverage the Suggest Subject Terms feature that maps search terms to the subject authority or thesaurus that corresponds to the database they are searching (single-database searching only). Library administrators will be able to use the same EBSCOadmin settings for Advanced Search that they did for the Classic UI, to control whether or not this feature displays to users, and if so, whether or not it's selected by default for users.
Users can email or share record metadata and abstracts using one of three formats: 1) a Brief view, 2) a customizable Detailed view, or 3) a standard Citation format (such as APA or MLA); and libraries can set a default format, which users can choose to override. The Detailed view will allow users to pick and choose which metadata fields to include from a predefined list, making it easy to generate tailored references. The Brief and Detailed formats will include permalinks to each individual record in EBSCO's user interface, and the full text when available.
