Engineering Village (EV) is continuously updated to ensure that it remains the premier choice of engineering researchers worldwide as they utilize EV to make informed choices about their research. Analytics is one of the key pillars of value in EV, and the recent addition of ‘Engineering Research Profile’ (ERP) to its Compendex database provides users with unique insights into the research output of institutions. With Inspec Analytics (IA), EV now expands these capabilities to the Inspec database as well.

Compendex on Engineering Village helps engineers quickly assess the engineering research landscape with ease. As the broadest and most complete engineering literature database in the world, it covers 190+ engineering-related disciplines and content dating back to 1884.

If you have an engineering research question, it’s likely that Compendex can help you answer it.

To help you get a broad overview of what’s available, Engineering Village now contains a Compendex overview page. It gives a visual overview of publications years, document types, and subject areas.

When you come across some great search results, you may want to share those insights with colleagues.

Engineering Village just added a “share search” feature that allows you to quickly capture a search result page and forward it on to a colleague. Whether you’re working on a collaborative project with another engineer or simply found something of interest that’s worth passing on, the “share search” feature helps you do it quickly.

With Engineering Village’s other personalization features, you can also “create alerts” to stay on top of new

AIAA, or the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, self-proclaims that its members have achieved virtually every milestone in modern American flight since 1963. Its mission is to “ignite and celebrate aerospace ingenuity and collaboration, and its importance to our way of life.”

Its standards, created by aerospace professionals for aerospace professionals, provide best practices and regulatory requirements to allow for economies of scale, expanded trade possibilities, and greater quality and safety of operating aerospace equipment.

Registering a profile on Engineering Village has great benefits, including setting alerts to receive e-mails when new content is added that’s relevant to your research.

Now, registered users can retain specific session information from their last session. This allows you to quickly retrieve and recall records that you may want to re-visit based on your previous session.

Up to 50 searches and 500 selected records are stored from your previous session to recall them on your current one. Even if your session is timed-out, session searches and selected records are saved.

Last year, we made it easier to demystify your school’s engineering research profile through the Engineering School Profile feature.

This time, we’re making it easier to stay on top of your school’s changing research profile.

You can now create an alert to get an e-mail list of newly added records with authors from the selected institution. This enables deans, chairs, librarians and even engineers to view a university’s engineering research profile as it changes over time.

Make even better decisions with regard to funding, research focus, and overall strategy.
