Research Platforms Roadmap

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.

New Full Text Finder Link Resolver User Interface (FTF UI) supports third party API links such as ThirdIron links and Unpaywall API links to conditionally display on the FTF UI when the third party API returns a positive response.

Records on the results page in EBSCO Discovery Service and EBSCOhost will be numbered to make navigating results simpler and more intuitive. Users will also be able to select the number of results they see before the "See More Results" button appears. The default view will remain as 10 records, with options to view up to 50 records.

The new interlibrary loan (ILL) form is designed to seamlessly integrate with EBSCO’s New UI. This form has several enhanced features:
1. EEM Module: Easily create and manage ILL forms with the new EEM module.
2. Entitlement API Integration: Users will be informed about the availability of a copy through EBSCO full text, SmartLinks+, or Unpaywall before submitting their request.
3. EBSCO SSO Integration: Automatic population of user information with EBSCO Single Sign-On.
4. Multilingual Support: Access the form in all languages supported by EBSCO.

The Publication Finder search box builder is now available in the new search box module in EEM.

Users of Points of View and Read It! on Explora will soon have a new Topic Page experience which highlights related content collections for Points of View Point/Counterpoint articles and Read It! comprehension tests.
