New year, new release — I am delighted this week to announce a new release of 2Dsearch. This contains a variety of bug fixes and improvements, including support for IEEE XPlore, a ‘Help me choose’ feature and automated search report generation.
You can now use 2Dsearch to search visually across 10 different databases and use automated translations for many more. We’ve also made improvements to the canvas user experience and now provide starter examples for each of the 10 databases.
We’ve lots more planned for the next release, so if you’d like to help shape this and/or have comments or suggestions then do let us know. We’d be delighted to hear from you.

Hi Tony,
Thanks for sharing this new release. I wonder if you have done user evaluations of the 2Dsearch, compared with the traditional interfaces and users with different levels of domain expertise?
Thanks, Ying Hsang

Hi Ying Hsang
As it happens we are just starting to look into this. We’re mindful of the fact that such an evaluation would ideally be done independently, and that it is unlikely that a single experiment could explore all possible variables. But to start things off we are working with an academic partner on an initial user evaluation of the type you describe. If you’re interested in hearing more about this we’d very much welcome your feedback.
Best wishes,
Tony
