ISI has pro­vided access to Bio­sis cita­tion index as a free upgrade to our exist­ing Bio­sis pre­views sub­scrip­tion through the end of 2010.

Please note, the two data­bases do not cur­rently appear on the same plat­form. Bio­sis cita­tion index is on the new plat­form while Bio­sis pre­views (along with Zoo­log­i­cal record) con­tinue on the older plat­form. All should migrate by “early 2011″.

Ovid has announced that the plat­form migra­tion has been re-scheduled for August 1.

Ovid has intro­duced a new plat­form and is mak­ing both plat­forms avail­able from now until June 30, when they will migrate to the new inter­face. Click on the TRY IT NOW link at the top of any Ovid data­base page to get a preview.

The new inter­face intro­duces a new Ovid Tool­bar, the My Projects work area, and new results man­age­ment and research pro­duc­tiv­ity tools and functionality.

Aca­d­e­mic Uni­verse has been in the process of migrat­ing to a new plat­form for some time. For the last sev­eral weeks we have directed users through an inter­me­di­ary page to explain the change and famil­iar­ize them with the new inter­face. Dur­ing the Interim we will com­plete the switch to the new plat­form and url. It will take a few days for all the records to be changed.
