WebPlus Beta Aids Serious Searching
For those of you who are not familiar with Thomson Scientific, they are a division of the Thomson Corporation that acts as a technical provider creating integrated solutions used by researchers, information specialists, and professionals in the fields of biotechnology, chemistry, engineering, healthcare, law, financial services, higher education, reference information, corporate training, and assessment. People who are very lucky have access to Thomson Scientific products through their employer, school, or library. Recently they have opened a beta tool to the public. This is a specialized search engine for people who need to get serious facts from reliable, well vetted, sources. This new service can be a great help to bloggers, students, or just people who like to arm themselves with research results to settle arguments. The search site allows you to focus on topics, individual scientists or authors, journals (Source), institution, organism (including micro-organisms), drugs/medications, and even genes. Sure you could search for these things on Google, and WebPlus provides much of the same information. The difference, however, is the WebPlus results are weighted by reputation. This means the most thoroughly vetted, reliable, and trustworthy sources appear at the top of the list. The Thomson Scientific researchers are working to assign unbiased relative values to research sources based on quality of those sources. This is quite different from Google’s popularity based results that work well for most searches. Students, bloggers, and research professionals will all benefit greatly from this service. |
