Dear Ovid Customer:
We're pleased to announce a release to the new Ovid UI on 24 May 2023 at 6 AM EDT (view your local time). In this release we're removing the orange Open Access panel that appears on the right side of Basic Search and making updates to the display of error messages. The decision to remove the Open Access panel is the result of years of very low usage. We found that our users perceive this panel as if it were an advert because it displays on the page as adverts do on other websites. Through Links@Ovid and Ovid LinkSolver, we continue to link users to available Open Access Electronic Full Text articles.

New Basic Search Results Display Without the Panel
Starting this month, you may be prompted with a survey when using the article search page in the new journals experience. As we continue to refine Ovid, it's helpful to learn about our customers so that we may create tools that fit your needs. If you don't wish to complete the survey, please close the window and you won't be prompted again within the same session.
We look forward to continuing to improve the Ovid user experience and provide customers with outstanding service. Feel free to contact Customer Support with any questions by sending an email to [email protected].
Regards,
Wolters Kluwer - Ovid
