More on Science.gov 2.0
On May 11th we mentioned that Science.gov 2.0 had just launched. Today, Paula Hane offers an excellent overview of the enhanced service and new technology. One weakness Paula doesn’t mention in her column that I’ve found while testing Science.gov 2.0 is that direct links to citations found via this metasearch tool are not available. This could cause problems in trying to return to a citation or including it in a bibliography. An example, I ran a quick search for the phrase “global warming” and, as expected, got many results. When I clicked on an entry, I was unable to find a direct url to that specific entry. However, if I went directly to one of the underlying databases I was able to find a unique url.
