A new kind of literature search – create knowledge maps with Open Knowledge Maps
Discover the new feature at ETH Library @ swisscovery and get a new perspective on the results of your literature search.
Do you want to try out an innovative approach to searching with knowledge maps and get a new perspective on the results of your literature search?
Use the new “Send my search to” feature at the bottom of the left column of the search results page at external pageETH Library @ swisscovery:
Select the option your search query should be sent to. Your search will then be processed by Open Knowledge Maps, and the result will be presented visually as a knowledge map.
You can then explore the results, which are presented in subject-based groups.
external pageOpen Knowledge Maps creates this presentation by analysing the metadata of each publication, such as the title, keywords and abstracts. 100 results from the BASE or PubMed databases form the basis of the analysis.
More information can be found in the external pageOpen Knowledge Maps FAQs.
The ETH Library is a member of Open Knowledge Maps – a non-profit initiative that aims to promote and improve access to scientific knowledge.
