OvidSP Interface Change


If you've searched MEDLINE, or any other OvidSP database lately, you may have noticed that the interface looks slightly different. Don't worry -- everything still works much the same!

The new enhancements include:

• Improved Output options

'Print, Email and Export' (e.g. to Endnote) options now appear at the top of your results display. You can also create a folder of your results by using the 'Add to My Projects' option.

• Results Tools

Quicker and easier sorting and filtering of search results by date, subject, author, journal etc. See the box to the left of your results display.

• My Workspace

Create work projects and organise all of your research materials—individual articles, search strategies, images, and more—into a dedicated area. You can use your Personal Account to access these tools.

• Ovid Toolbar

This downloadable tool lets you quickly and easily save critical research material to My Workspace while you’re working outside OvidSP.

Please note that the new version will retain all of your current saved settings and customisations!
