New access to ISI Web of Knowledge: Available Feb. 3

Dual access to be discontinued - All databases in new interface - Fully integrated Web search - And more ...

The next time you access ISI Web of Knowledge, you'll find more power, easier access and new options. Here's a summary of the latest enhancements, available February 03.

Dual access discontinued

Since August, you've had access to both the new and previous versions of ISI Web of Knowledge. As of February 03, all users and institutions will access the new version only. Access to the older version is discontinued.

The URL will continue to be http://isiknowledge.com

Access all databases in new interface

Now, users can access all ISI Web of Knowledge databases via the new, intuitive interface, including:

• Derwent Innovations Index^SM
• MEDLINE^®
• Web Citation Index™
• Journal Citation Reports^®
• Essential Science Indicators^SM
• Highly Cited Researchers™

Easily access relevant Web search results

Thomson Scientific WebPlus complements ISI Web of Knowledge searches with editorially selected, quality content from the open Web. One click brings you highly relevant and prioritized Web results. You can launch a WebPlus search from the All Databases homepage, from an individual product homepage, or from the top of All Database search results pages.

ResearcherID — a unique author identifier

This new tool for the global research community at: http://www.ResearcherID.com increases researchers' visibility and makes their work more accessible. A unique ID number expressly associates each researcher with his published work, and lets others easily find full publication lists and avoid the common problem of author misidentification. Users can easily search the Researcher ID registry to find citations, collaborators, speakers, editors, and reviewers. Links to more information are in the sidebar at the right-hand side of the ISI Web of Knowledge homepage.

New links to CAB Abstracts® Plus collections

Now, co-subscribers can link directly from CAB Abstracts records on ISI Web of Knowledge to full-text information in CAB Abstracts Plus collections. These collections provide access to the full text of hard-to-find journals, conference proceedings and reports; distribution maps; and detailed descriptions and illustrations of fungi and bacteria. These links are automatically enabled for current co-subscribers of CAB Abstracts on ISI Web of Knowledge and CAB Abstracts Plus.

Interface and resources files available in Simplified Chinese

To help serve the needs of the international user community and improve usability for Chinese users, Thomson Scientific has made the ISI Web of Knowledge interface, help files and other resource files available in Simplified Chinese. You can choose to view files in Chinese from the bottom of any ISI Web of Knowledge page.

ISI Web of Knowledge

We’d like to let you know that the next ISI Web of Knowledge upgrade will now take place on February 03, 2008.

New OvidSP Features

eTOCS 
Electronic Tables of Contents track changes in a specific journal’s table of contents. When eTOCs are delivered via RSS feed, they’re added to the Common Feed list and automatically downloaded to your computer. See below for a screenshot showing where to request an RSS feed of an eTOC.

AutoAlerts
Saved searches are delivered automatically whenever new articles that match your specific search criteria are available.

New Additions to the OvidSP Resource Center
Visit the OvidSP Resource Center (username: resourcecenter, password: ovidsp) for a new OvidSP fact sheet and Quick Reference Card that you can use to help users get up to speed on the new platform. 

Reminder - What Happens on October 25th?
Everything about your SilverPlatter access will remain as is. Simply contact your Ovid Account Representative or support@ovid.com to set up a trial of the new platform. Please keep in mind that, though we’re confident you’ll choose to move to OvidSP quickly, SilverPlatter will not retire until Q1 2009.

Introducing OvidSP - Coming October 25th!

After months of research-based primarily on direct feedback from librarians, information managers, and end users-design development, building, and testing, OvidSP will be live and accessible on Thursday, October 25, 2007!

Enhanced Features and Functionality

With OvidSP you'll get all the powerful precision search and discovery functionality of both SilverPlatter and Ovid Gateway, our powerful full text and bibliographic database platform, with some significant enhancements:

Clean, intuitive interface
In addition to a new look, new functionality will support free text, natural language searching; simultaneous searching across all databases, journals, and books; and results ranked by relevancy.

Multiple search modes
OvidSP is geared to all types of searchers-from beginners to the more advanced. In an easy-to-use tabular format, they can choose their preferred search style: Basic, Find Citation, Subject Search, Search Fields, or SilverPlatter "Classic," which employs traditional SilverPlatter syntax.

Improved research workflow tools
Enhanced Search Aids deliver search transparency and other features to narrow or broaden your search.

Look for improved Alerting tools such as RSS feeds and eTOCS. Abstracts are now easily accessible in line; plus, now you can annotate your search results!

What happens on October 25th?

Beginning on October 25th, you're invited to request trial access to OvidSP through support@ovid.com to familiarize yourself with the new features and functionality. Get a taste of your entire SilverPlatter account within the OvidSP environment! Though we know you'll find OvidSP a powerful, easy-to-use search and discovery tool ideal for any type of searcher, please note that SilverPlatter will be live until early 2009.

Helping you transition
As we get closer to October 25th, you'll receive weekly communications with more details on specific features and functionality. Next week, we're planning to announce the OvidSP Resource Center, where you can find information on training sessions, tips on using the interface, images and screen shots, and marketing materials to help you build end user awareness and excitement.

The new interface is a big step forward
Early feedback indicates that OvidSP is an intuitive, easy-to-use, and powerful precision search and discovery platform. We're confident you'll feel the same. As always, if you have any questions about the enhanced interface, please don't hesitate to contact Ovid's Technical Support team at support@ovid.com or your Ovid Account Representative.
