Searching on GSW • Paid subscribers can search all of GeoRef and all of the full-text of GSW simultaneously. • This means you may find more hits for a term on GSW than you will using just versions of GeoRef on other platforms. • GSW’s version of GeoRef is updated weekly with both additions and corrections, which is more often than any other version.
Non-Subscriber Searching • Searching without paid access yields results only from the journal content hosted on GSW • No full-text, no map search capability, and no GeoRef full-citations are shown
The End "...the mission and goals of GeoScienceWorld are ambitious and commendable. The user interface is well-designed and the growing full-text collections are a huge leap forward in the dissemination and education of geoscientific research. The integration of the GeoRef database with the journal collections makes GSW an unusual resource when compared to information resources in other scientific disciplines. The inclusion of unique tools such as TopicMap is progressive. Couple the above attributes with its economical price and one finds it hard to find serious fault with GSW." – Richard Stringer-Hye, Vanderbilt University, writing in Charleston Advisor, May, 2006
