Research Platforms Roadmap

AI Insights Summaries assist users in assessing an article's relevance to their research by providing a new button in the result list. This feature uses Generative AI to create on-demand summaries of 2-5 key points, based on the full text of the article. An AI Insight is grounded in the full-text of the article.

Publication authorities and issue trees for EBSCOhost databases are now  available.

Publication details include issue trees, which allow users to browse/search by specific years and issues
