Somewhat related to last skeet, have any #medlibs et al. ( #SystematicReview #ExpertSearching etc.) used Semantic Scholar for #EvidenceSynthesis work? "semantic scholar"[tw] gets 179 results in PubMed currently, and curious what folks might be doing with it.

Email from Elicit AI: "Elicit searches over 126 million academic papers from the Semantic Scholar corpus ... including from journals like PubMed, JAMA, BMJ, Nature, Science, and more."

👏 PubMed 👏 IS 👏 NOT 👏 A 👏 JOURNAL 👏

A screenshot of the "combine queries" symbol in the new EBSCOhost user interface. The symbol looks like 2 lines merging into 1 line with a right facing arrow at the end

Screenshot of the symbol that follows the Combine queries text in Scopus. The symbol looks like 2 lines merging into a single line with a right facing arrow at the end.

I have been playing around in the new #EBSCO interface and have thoughts 😅

Has anyone noticed that the symbol used to combine queries in the new EBSCO interface is very similar to that used by #Scopus?

And now I'm starting to see more similarities across the two systems 🤔 #Medlibs #ExpertSearching
