Research Platforms Roadmap

This Integration displays book cover images from a Yordam ILS on the results and detailed record pages in EBSCO Discovery Service when a cover image is not already available.

Advanced results page users now have the ability to save their entire search history as one "search set" when logged into their MyEBSCO account. A new "search sets" tab will display under "Saved" that will list all saved search sets, which can be sorted alphabetically and by date. Each individual search set will display as a read-only version of the same detailed table view from search history on the advanced results page, with the ability to save and delete individual S#'s and download the entire search set (ie. PRISMA search strategy). Users can re-run the entire search set to generate a refreshed version in search history on the advanced results page, so they can continue to edit and iterate on it as they refine and eventually finalize their PRISMA search strategy. Each new version can be saved as a new search set, and older versions can be deleted from the list of search sets. The download files for search history will also be improved to better support documentation and reproducibility of search strategies, and manual data entry into the PRISMA Flow Diagram (PDF, MS Word, CSV, XML, RTF, TXT).

The search history area of the advanced results page now includes a bulk actions toolbar and the ability to save individual searches; it also provides the ability to view results of searches without incurring a new S# (duplicating it in search history). Personalized users also have the ability to save their entire search history as one "search set" that can be viewed and re-run later in future browser sessions. 

The bulk actions toolbar nowdisplays consistently across the results pages and various Dashboard pages, except where specific deviations are warranted. (Note: Bulk Actions are not available to Guest Users.)

Personalized users can select up to 500 records at a time to perform bulk actions such as Download, Save, Add to project, Email, Share, Cite, and Delete. To support larger workflows, users can easily navigate through sequential batches of 500 records, up to a maximum of 3,500 records per day.

Users can edit combined searches in addition to individual searches. 

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."

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.
