Taking a DeepDyve into the Deep Web - DeepDyve’s Favorite Haunts and Upcoming Features (Page 4 of 4 ) So DeepDyve returned a number of interesting items, but we all know that a search engine isn’t any better than the web sites it indexes. What does DeepDyve index? A lot, as it turns out. Here’s the list I received along with my activation email: - Life Science and Medical: Includes over 600 full text journals, including Annual Reviews, BioOne, Sage, and Mary Ann Liebert; databases including Medline (containing abstracts from over 15,000 journals), CRISP database of federally funded biomed research projects, the World Health Organization Model List of Essential Medicines, and news from industry websites like Nature, WebMD, Pharmaceutical Online, and Genetic Engineering News.
- Physical Sciences: Current news and information from the web in the physical sciences, information technology, clean technology and energy from major online news bureaus such as The New York Times, Forbes.com, CNN, Financial Times, and Reuters, as well as open-access industry websites.
- Patents: Nearly 12 million documents from the US and European Patent offices.
- Wikipedia
I know, Wikipedia looked a little odd to me too, but there it is. DeepDyve isn’t finished adding to its index by a long shot. It plans to tackle topics such as information technology, clean technology, and energy. Oh, and if you’re still not entirely happy with what you can do with it, for $45 per month you get some extra ways to manipulate your documents, explained in the search engine’s tour. Not everyone will want or need to use DeepDyve. And of those who could benefit from what the search engine can provide, many have access, one way or another, to the parts of the deep web that sit behind various kinds of virtual walls. But for those of us whose hunger for information never seems to be satisfied, it’s one more tool with which we can work. | DISCLAIMER: The content provided in this article is not warranted or guaranteed by Developer Shed, Inc.
