PEP A1v11 will include additional Feature Updates to Enhance its Search Engine
Some very important and helpful features will be added to PEP for A1v11 in the fall of 2012. These are centered around helping to specify and refine searches to make sure you get to the article(s) you are looking for with the greatest efficiency and precision.
- Word Wheel. As you type text in one of the search fields, words from articles that match what you've typed so far will be shown to you, and will continue to be refined as you type. This new feature will help you choose search terms.
- Live Search Statistics. Instant feedback on your search criteria! As you enter criteria in the search fields, the number of matching documents for each field will be instantly shown, to help you see whether you have chosen search terms which will best pinpoint the results you want. Further, when you specify multiple fields of words and phrases in context (as well as authors or titles), the number of matches the combinations of these fields produce will be instantly shown as well. This instant feedback will help to tell you when you've specified "enough" to find what you're looking for -- so you don't have to sift through a large number of results. It will also tell you when you haven't found a specific article, which part of your search may have been too limiting.
These future scheduled features will add to PEP’s new and improved Mach III Enhanced Search Engine enhanced by its three new elements including, citation capacity, statistics of most cited and the most read PEP articles, and a powerful glossary of psychoanalytic terms integrated from four key Psychoanalytic Glossaries.
The current PEP Interface includes a What's New? feature, showing new material that's been added; Top 5 Lists of what's popular (most read) and what's most cited by PEP source articles, along with access to the complete ranked statistics; and expanded search criteria to include language and the new statistics, where, for example, you can limit the results to articles which have been cited more than 5 times in the past 10 years. And perhaps most significantly, there's a new glossary of psychoanalytic terms and concepts that can be accessed by clicking on the terms within any article!
In the PEP Glossary’s initial implementation, in addition to the Language of Psychoanalysis(Laplanche and Pontalis), PEP will be offering three other Glossaries: The Edinburgh International Encyclopaedia of Psychoanalysis (Skelton), Glossary of Psychoanalytic Terms and Concepts(Moore and Fine), and the Dictionary of Kleinian Thoughts(Hinshelwood). PEP has also included the Glossary of Psychoanalysis in Europe (Junkers), which provides a mapping of each psychoanalytic term across several languages. More glossaries are anticipated to be integrated as PEP obtains the rights.
The DVD, A1v9 which was released in November 2010, will allow Journal articles up through 2007, with the exception of American Imago who has a asked PEP to keep the wall to 2005 for Archival content or other Journals that may now be out of print. PEP has a total of 42 Journals and complete versions of fifty-eight classic psychoanalytic texts and all twenty-four volumes of the Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud and the German Freud Standard Edition, "Gesammelte Werke" and all the included Editorial Notes. The Freud texts are concordant and the PEP Search Engine allows the reader to go back and forth between the two texts. This is most likely the last version of PEP that will be produced on DVD.
In addition, there is a long-term plan to provide PEP Web subscribers who have also paid current subscriptions to the journal publishers complete and up-to-date access to these journals through the PEP Psychoanalytic Literature Search. We are currently hosting the Current Content for the PEP Journal Contemporary Psychoanalysis. Click here for more information for links to the Journal Publishers. This is a complex technical and copyright negotiation but further details will be posted here as soon as they are available.
