Backed by User Research: Understanding what a user needs and wants is the first step to successful research. EBSCO Discovery Service Health includes features and technology built on user research to help users get the exact answers.
One Interface: Search DynaMed, PubMed, the full CINAHL product line and content from other leading medical research providers such as BIOSIS, Global Health, and APA PsycInfo in one search.
2D and 3D Concept Map Visualizations: A Concept Map is an alternate way to organize and view results in a graphical/visual display. Concept Map helps users make new connections and draw correlations across related topics.
Users can also find hidden relationships between and among concepts, and make connections across fields of study, thus making interdisciplinary research easier for specialists.
Concept Map also adds a semantic layer to subject queries, enabling the use of more natural language in users’ searches, enabling learnings and discoveries that users may not have found otherwise.
The “Access Now” drop-down options provide quick and easy access to full text.
The “Add to Project” feature empowers teams of collaborating physicians to singularly or collectively add new articles, videos, books and citations to dedicated projects.
The "Ahead of Print" function enables the reading of articles prior to publication and for citation by way of their Digital Object Identifiers (DOI), which will initially point to the accepted author manuscript, and later to the published version of record.
Did-You-Mean, Autocomplete and Autocorrect: EDS Health automatically offers suggestions and corrections to users’ search terms, decreasing false results and errors.
Citation Search: Users can copy and paste citations into the search box, and EDS Health delivers the relevant match to the top of the result list, reducing search time.
Hyperlinked Database Names: Users can quickly click to databases from the search results list, increasing usage and promoting the resources available at your library.
Export Citations: Users can save or email citations in .csv or other format of their choice, so they can easily organize and cite their research sources.
Accessible Features: EBSCO invests time and resources to provide all users with access to our products including EBSCO Discovery Service Health. We work with internationally recognized accessibility experts and incorporate feedback from customers and users.
