Electronic research databases provider EBSCO Publishing, US, and Northern Light, US, have announced a partnership to allow mutual customers directly search and access over 4,000 bio-pharmaceutical, health sciences and general business magazines, journals and other news sources through Northern Light SinglePoint strategic research portals. SinglePoint users who also subscribe to EBSCO’s Biomedical Reference Collection and Business Source Corporate may now opt to have that content integrated with their organisation’s strategic research portal. Northern Light provides strategic research portals for market research, competitive intelligence, business analysis, product development, and technology research.
SinglePoint is an enterprise search application that provides centralised search, analysis, and access for diverse sources of internal, external, and licensed market intelligence. Offered in a secure, hosted, user self-service portal environment, SinglePoint is customised to the precise market research and competitive intelligence purposes of each of Northern Light’s enterprise clients.
Biomedical Reference Collection provides managers and clinical researchers in industries such as bio-pharmaceutical, medical device manufacturing, biogenetics and public health with full-text access to more than 1,000 journals covering disciplines from biomedicine and health sciences to the health care system and pre-clinical sciences. Business Source Corporate is designed to meet the diverse information needs of corporations. The database contains full text from nearly 3,000 quality magazines and journals, including general business periodicals, trade publications and top management journals. In addition, it provides access to periodicals, country economic reports, company profiles, and industry reports. For mutual subscribers, Business Source Corporate pairs nicely with the thousands of business-oriented media sources and industry-authority blogs contained in Northern Light Business News.
Beyond providing a unified search index of all content contained in the portal, SinglePoint also offers an automated ‘meaning extraction’ application designed specifically for market intelligence, business analysis, product research, and market research. It identifies meaning-loaded business concepts in a results list – business issues, strategic scenarios, companies, venture-funded companies, technologies, markets, job titles, government agencies, identified phrases, and research sources – to help researchers quickly identify and drill down into the most relevant documents for purposes of their specific inquiry.
