New Web of Science Preview

August 19, 2007 on 10:18 pm | In Database News |

You now have a chance to preview the new interface for Web of Science and Biosis Previews.

When you go into either database, click the “Preview the New Version” at the top in the Web of Knowledge bar. In the new window, you’ll see a link to launch the new version, and below that a link to provide feedback and comments to ISI on the new interface.

The new “All Databases” tab is the previous Cross Search that allows you to search both databases simultaneously (though with fewer searching options). The “Select a Database” tab is where you can select just Web of Science or Biosis Preview, which will then show up as a new tab.

The other major change is how the results display. Now left of the results, you’ll notice an expanded set of options to refine your search. Some of the options to manage results for saving/printing/e-mail have also changed.
