At the heart of Ovid Discovery is Ovid Discovery’s index of metadata, which provides a broad and comprehensive web-scale search over scholarly publications metadata such as journals, books, databases, library catalogs and other repositories. Ovid Discovery’s index is pre-populated with both customers’ and publishers’ content metadata.

Ovid Discovery’s web-scale search is based on the indexed content and complemented by connectors querying non-indexed content in real time, and providing a user’s unified search and retrieval experience.
