Novoseek: A Cool Search Engine for the Life Sciences
.jpg)
I previously posted an article on BioJobBlog about biomedical and scientific search engines. One of them called Novoseek, which is mainly geared for life scientists, has recently launched a new set of features known as My Novoseek
My Novoseek allows users to create a personal account to store and manage indiviudal Novoseek searches. Its functionalities include:
- Search history
- Saved searches
- Search labeling and indexing
- New publication alerts
- Account filtering and management
These newly introduced features improve Novoseek’s search capabilities, content management and convenience. For example, saving searches and creating alerts offers users a facile and convenient way to be alerted when new papers are published in your areas of interest. Also, Novoseek’s indexing and content management features makes creating and labeling collections of papers really easy. Finally, the ability to customize and manage account settings and view search histories makes searching for new information easier, less time consuming and prevents search redundancy.
While I haven’t spent much time evaluating other biomedical search engines, my experience with Novoseek has positive and I recommend that you check it out. Also, unlike other biomedical search engines, Novoseek has a distinctive social media bent and is using it to constantly add new features to meet new and exisitng user demands. To that end, Novoseek maintains its own blog to keep user abreast of happenings in the biomedical search engine world and can be found on Facebook and Twitter.
Signing up for Novoseek is easy, requires only three steps and only takes five minutes or less.
Please visit the Novoseek website and let me know what you think.
Until next time...
Good Luck and Good Searching!!!!!
