In addition to Company Discovery Pages, BSI released another feature called “Industry Discovery Pages”. This feature provides another, singular overview of the top industries in the world today. Each page includes an Industry Smart Panel that offers an overview of the target industry. Additionally, researchers will discover links to related companies, industry reports from leading providers, relevant articles, and more!
We are excited to introduce "Company Discovery Pages," a new feature in BSI designed to enhance your business research experience. This feature will provide comprehensive Company Discovery Pages for several thousand companies, consolidating various materials and artifacts into a single, intuitive view. Each page will include a Company Smart Panel which will include details such as headquarters, CEO, ticker number, employee count, and more when data is available. Additionally, researchers will see top competitors, industry reports, SWOT analyses, case studies, articles, videos, and more!
For those who previously used the Company Information portal in Classic BSI, the new Company Discovery Pages will serve as its enhanced successor, offering the same detailed company information with additional intuitive features. Please note that only the Company Smart Panel will be available in EBSCOhost.
NoveList Select is now available in the latest versions of EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) and EBSCOhost, enhancing these interfaces with detailed book recommendations, series titles in reading order, and other helpful information from NoveList to assist both library staff and users in finding great next reads with expertly curated read-alikes.
Links to the following authorities are now available on the left-hand navigation pane of EDS, EBSCOhost, and Explora profiles when the relevant databases are enabled:
Publications authority
Subjects authority
Atla Scripture Search
CINAHL Headings
MEDLINE -- MeSH 2024
The PICOT guided search tool has been updated in the following ways: Descriptive text has been added that helps busy medical users understand how to run a PICOT search, with a link to an updated Connect page; a “Clear all” button was added to clear all PICOT search boxes; and the Boolean operator inserted between “Intervention” and “Comparison” changed from OR to AND, so the search string displays on the Advanced Search page as follows: Population/Problem AND (Intervention AND Comparison) AND Outcome AND Time. Users are welcome to modify this prior to running the search, by manually changing the search query on the Advanced Search page.
The PICOT tool is disabled by default. However, customers or EBSCO Support can enable it via the Configuration module in EBSCO Experience Manager.
Related Items, previously only available on select Explora interfaces, has been added to all interfaces including EDS and EBSCOhost. This feature shows on both the detailed record and in the full text viewer and lists all other articles included in the same issue or edition of the record you are currently viewing, serving as a way to navigate through articles and chapters in a given issue.
Upon the institution migrating to the new UI, all active personal users will incur a migration of their saved searches, ensuring those users can view and manage these saved searches alongside those which were saved within the new UI
A new field code (search tag) has been added to select EBSCOhost databases: XB searches both the Title and the Abstract simultaneously in Academic Search (all versions), CINAHL (all versions), Medline (all versions), Health Business (all versions), SPORTDiscus (all versions), APA PsycInfo, PsycBooks, PsycTherapy, and PsycExtra. APA PsycArticles and PsycTests will receive it by July 2025. Command line searching with XB is supported by some EDS partner databases as well.
XB will appear in the Field Code drop-down list when searching applicable individual databases in an EBSCOhost profile. In multi-database EBSCOhost searches and any EDS profile, only common field codes will display, excluding XB. Note that typing XB into a command line search for an unsupported database will treat XB as a keyword search which will provide skewed results. We recommend using XB only in single-database searches.
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.
EBSCO’s new Business Searching Interface (BSI) offers a clean, modern look to make business research more intuitive and efficient for Business Source subscribers. With improved navigation and a visually appealing design, the new BSI delivers a unique search experience. Students, faculty and researchers can easily browse leading business journals and magazines, search specific topics and easily locate country economic data, company profiles, industry information, and market research.
January-June 2025 will be an opt-in approach to customers. A full migration for all remaining customers will occur in early July 2025.
