 Message: Hi Anita - we have both the Proquest and Ebsco platforms. I don't use it as often as I do some other databases, but I prefer the Ebsco, since the syntax is so similar to CINAHL, which I use all the time.  I think most of the problems with exporting big sets of results from Ebsco have been fixed.  The email you send yourself now arrives in a timely manner and I think we filled out a from with IT to make sure that they never get flagged as spam. I do find browsing and searching the subject terms to be a little bit of a challenge, but it's the same with Proquest.

Hi, folks.

We currently have PsycINFO on the EBSCO platform. When conducting Evidence Synthesis-related research projects, we had heard that it was easier to download results on the Proquest platform. When it comes to Ev Synth work, do you all have a platform preference? If so, why do you like one over the other?

 

Best,

Anita
