Research Platforms Roadmap

For customers using both EBSCO Discovery Service and PressReader, this integration allows PressReader results to appear directly in the new EBSCO Discovery Service user interface. Users can then link to the PressReader website to access full text or explore additional results.

Segmented search results have been added for CINAHL Complete, CINAHL Plus, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, and CINAHL Ultimate. This shows result list segments for “All results,” “Evidence-based care sheets,” “Quick lessons” and “Videos” when one or more of these databases is selected for searching in EBSCOhost.

Reports & Statistics - COUNTER reporting will be upgraded to support release 5.1 Code of Practice to maintain industry compliance. Users will be able to access, generate and schedule COUNTER R5.1 & SUSHI server reports. COUNTER R5 & R5.1 reporting ability will live concurrently until EBSCO deprecates the R5 customer facing reports in June 2025.

Publication Finder customers will have the ability to enable a new set of functionality (opt-in, this will not be enabled automatically) that offers users the ability to search and browse for selected and visible databases in addition to the currently offered publication search and browse. This will also tie into new functionality being made available in Holdings Management to set custom package Display Names, alternate package names and package/database descriptions.

EBSCO's Global Knowledgebase is being populated with new managed package descriptions, alternate package names, package subjects, and package-level URLs that will be searchable in Holdings Management.  Additionally, Holdings Management Administrators will be able to create a custom package display name, add alternate package names and descriptions, and associate additional managed subjects to packages; users can also add package URLs to their custom packages.

EBSCO has partnered with Elsevier to provide integrated Times Cited data on EBSCO Discovery Service for customers on the new user interface who are subscribed to the Elsevier Scopus® database. This integration allows librarians to configure Scopus access citation counts and links to the Scopus platform for users to view additional metadata for a given citation result set.

Personalized users can add up to 50 records at a time to a Project of their choice, whether existing or new, directly from the results page

Users can access related records from the full details and viewer screens so that they can easily navigate to content from the same volume of a publication, such as chapters within a book, articles within an issue and Points of View articles and other related content collections.

The EBSCO Scholarly Graph (ESG) is a comprehensive network containing millions of bibliographic records of published creative works as well as the local holdings data from contributing libraries. The ESG captures how the metadata in these creative works link together, such as common co-authors between different works, articles focused on similar subjects, publishers and author affiliated institutions, backwards and forward citations, common synonyms, linked data and national library vocabularies, and much more. The ESG powers many of the EBSCO linked data features such as citation counts, author pages, open web discovery, and advanced researcher recommendations.
