Date Filter Enhancements
January 2026

The custom date range filter was updated with a simplified manual date entry format (MM/YYYY–MM/YYYY), replacing the calendar-style date picker and making this available from the Quick Filter. This new design is fully WCAG 2.2 AA compliant, adapts to all geographic locales, and is now available via the Date Quick Filter. The Date Filter label was also updated to display “All dates” when no date filtering is applied.

"Full Text" Quick Filter for Cited by, References, and People Page Works Lists
January 2026

"Full text" quick filter has been added to the Cited by, References and People Page Works lists to help users filter the lists down to works that have full text available. This quick filter functions in the same manner that the "Full text" quick filter does on the result list experience.  Users can save time by accessing record full text from the list without extra navigation into the detailed record.

Publication Contents Feature Hidden from Topic Overview and Research Starter Records
December 2025

We have removed the Publication Contents feature from Topic Overview and Research Starter records. This feature works by showing other records in the same issue of a publication, and Topic Overviews/Research Starters are all indexed under a single "issue," so this feature was not useful for these types of records.
