scite is a next-generation citation index that uses machine learning to retrieve and contextualize scientific research. Citing works are categorized as mentioning, supporting, or contrasting based on an artificial intelligence (AI) analysis of rhetoric and presented with a measure of confidence, a relevant snippet of context from the citing article, and access links (when available). Users can browse or visualize results using the web interface, install a browser extension to find similar citations for online text, or create a dashboard to visualize and track sets of citations. Use cases include citation searching in order to conduct systematic reviews, track the evolution of research on a particular topic, identify experts on a topic, and calculate impact factor. Users can also upload papers to conduct a reference check for retracted articles.

Education Magazine Archive from ProQuest, part of Clarivate, is a digital archive of 26 magazines in the field of education, with date coverage ranging from 1910 to 2015. The titles chosen were originally aimed at teachers, policy makers, and other education professionals. Given the full-text coverage from the first volumes and issues to 2015, the Archive provides valuable access to those researching not just education but also areas such as social history, childhood studies, psychology, sociology, and politics. The Archive can be of use to a broad range of public, academic, and corporate library users. However, it will be of particular use to those institutions, like colleges and universities, with a focus on educational research and history. Institutions with multiple full-text subscriptions should compare their existing full-text access to this product before making final purchase or subscription decisions. This reviewer, for example, found an overlap greater than 60% between the Education Magazine Archive content and their library's current e-resources entitlements.

MEDLINE Ultimate is an update to the EBSCO database MEDLINE Complete, which was billed as an alternative interface for MEDLINE. With MEDLINE Ultimate, EBSCO's promotional materials seem to put more emphasis on its increased journal count (compared with MEDLINE Complete) than on its use as a MEDLINE interface. Like MEDLINE Complete, MEDLINE Ultimate includes primarily academic journals with some gray literature from government agencies and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) such as the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO). MEDLINE Ultimate includes MeSH and filters, but the filters are not as well integrated as they are in PubMed. The search interface and indexing also have some quirks that librarians will want to be aware of. The main value-added feature of MEDLINE Ultimate is full-text access to additional journals not available through EBSCO's other two MEDLINE products. For libraries that do not subscribe to any of EBSCO's MEDLINE products and are interested in acquiring full-text access to a larger collection of biomedical journals, MEDLINE Ultimate may be appealing. However, most full text in MEDLINE Ultimate is for journals already available in MEDLINE Complete, so libraries that already subscribe to Complete may find the new product less interesting.

The Rehabilitation Reference Center (RRC) database brings together a variety of clinical resources, such as clinical reviews, drug information, patient education handouts, exercise images, research instrument information, and e-book chapters tailored for rehabilitation professionals and students, especially those in physical therapy and occupational therapy. This relatively small but current and full-text document collection is available exclusively from EBSCO and can be searched in tandem with other EBSCO subscription resources, making it easier to search and browse. Many of RRC's clinical reviews are also continuing education units (CEUs) and are available for physical therapists and occupational therapists. The collection could be improved by the continual addition of more clinical resources to support the diversity of rehabilitation topics for educators’ and practitioners’ needs. RRC is recommended for libraries supporting small to medium physical therapy and occupational therapy undergraduate and graduate programs or to complement coverage in other rehabilitation-related subscription resources.

Indigenous Peoples of North America is included in the Gale Primary Sources series and is in two parts. This database, The Indian Rights Association, 1882‐1986, is the second of the two. The Indian Rights Association (IRA) is the first organization to address American Indian rights and interests, and this collection includes its organizational records; incoming and outgoing correspondence; annual reports; draft legislation; photographs; administrative files; pamphlets, publications, and other print materials (including documents from the Council on Indian Affairs and other American Indian organizations); and manuscripts and research notes on Indian traditions, both social and cultural. Founded in 1882 by White philanthropists, the IRA's initial approach to American Indians was both assimilationist and paternalistic, leading it to advocate for the detribalization of America's Indigenous peoples, maintaining it would improve their social and economic status. Nevertheless, it was one of the first organizations to report on and expose the corruption of federal government officials tasked with working with and for American Indians. Eventually, the IRA would discard assimilationism and work with other, newer, occasionally Indian-run organizations such as the Association on American Indian Affairs, the Society of American Indians, and the National Indian Defense Association. The IRA sought to debunk misconceptions and half-truths about American Indians and their condition in the United States, which were too often the basis for policy and legislation related to Native Americans. It also sent association representatives to Indian reservations to make note of local conditions there, not only to evaluate the actions of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) but also to provide background information for legislation related to Indigenous peoples.This database's search functions often produce results relevant to the query submitted, and both its search and browse functions can be navigated with relative ease. This database can be subscribed to or purchased with an annual hosting fee. The purchase price, based on a variety of factors, can start as low as $2,796 for public libraries or $3,994 for academic libraries, with starting annual hosting fees of $22 and $32, respectively. Whether institutions find this pricing reasonable depends on their need for the materials covered by the Indigenous Peoples of North America collection. The licensing agreement for this database is too long and detailed but standard in its composition and therefore is of no concern.
《北美土著人民》收录在盖尔原始资料丛书中,分为两部分。这个数据库,印度权利协会,1882 - 1986,是两个数据库中的第二个。印第安人权利协会(Indian Rights Association, IRA)是第一个关注美洲印第安人权利和利益的组织,本收藏包括其组织记录;接收和发送的通信;年度报告;立法草案;照片;行政文件;小册子、出版物和其他印刷材料(包括印第安事务委员会和其他美洲印第安人组织的文件);以及关于印度社会和文化传统的手稿和研究笔记。爱尔兰共和军于1882年由白人慈善家创立,它对美洲印第安人的最初态度是同化主义和家长式的,导致它倡导美国土著民族的去部族化,认为这将提高他们的社会和经济地位。然而,它是最早报道和揭露负责与美洲印第安人合作并为其服务的联邦政府官员腐败的组织之一。最终,爱尔兰共和军放弃了同化主义,并与其他较新的、偶尔由印第安人管理的组织合作,如美国印第安人事务协会、美国印第安人协会和全国印第安人防御协会。爱尔兰共和军试图揭穿关于美洲印第安人和他们在美国的状况的误解和半真半假的说法,这些误解和半真半假的说法往往是与美洲印第安人有关的政策和立法的基础。它还派遣协会代表前往印第安人保留地,了解当地情况,不仅是为了评价印第安人事务局的行动,而且也是为了提供有关土著人民立法的背景资料。该数据库的搜索功能通常产生与提交的查询相关的结果,并且其搜索和浏览功能都可以相对轻松地导航。这个数据库可以订阅或购买与年托管费用。根据各种因素,购买价格最低可为公共图书馆2796美元,学术图书馆3994美元,每年的托管费用分别为22美元和32美元。各机构是否认为这种定价合理取决于它们对北美土著人民馆藏所涵盖材料的需求。这个数据库的许可协议太长太详细,但其组成标准,因此不值得关注。
