New beta feature: AI Article Summary now available on Ovid®
We’re excited to introduce AI Article Summary, a new beta feature designed to support faster, more informed decision-making for clinicians and researchers. Built using generative AI, this tool provides clear, plain-language summaries that capture the who, what, when, where, and why of each study—highlighting key findings, methodology, and clinical relevance in seconds. Developed in collaboration with clinical experts, it’s tailored to support real-world research and practice needs.
Important: This feature is currently only available on HTML full-text articles from proprietary Lippincott journals on Ovid.
Early users have described it as an "essential triage tool" helping reduce cognitive load and streamline literature screening in busy clinical workflows.

Export Enhancements
We are pleased to announce an update to Ovid’s Export functionality which will make it easier for users to take search results and citations into the next phase of their literature review workflow.
Ovid users can now personalize their export settings and save them to their Personal Account as a reusable template. Users may select between Microsoft Word (.doc) or PDF as the output format and specify the citation style for the bibliographic metadata (e.g. MLA, APA). It's easy to select which fields to include in the export and specify the order of field display. These export customizations can also be saved for future use.
