OvidSP Enhancements

OvidSP will release new platform enhancements on Monday, March 31st. Some of the enhancements include:
  • Annotation Export: You will be able to export search result annotations to standard bibliographic citation managers, such as EndNote®, helping you to organize your research.
  • Search Screen Position: After a search has been executed, the search screen will no longer "jump", causing the search results set to appear at the top of the page. The search box will now appear above the search results set.
  • Non-English Translations: French, German, and Spanish interfaces will be available. View a non-English interface from either the Database Selection page or the Main Search page.
