CORR

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research online content starting in 2008 is now available via SpringerLink. If you cannot find the most current issue on the first page you come to, try clicking the publisher link. Sometimes there is a delay in providing the newest content to the in-between providers.

Here is the link to that title -- from here just click on "See Publisher's Site":

OVID statistical reports

re getting stats from OVID now that they are on SP (as reported by comments on listserv CDPLUS-L):

OVID reports that their intent is to maintain the Gateway-module until the SP-module has
the same capabilities for statistical reports. Until then, the Gateway-module is the one to use.

The new version has a longer timeout so possibly fewer users can get in

At present, the Gateway-module is reporting the reliable data. The SP module, by contrast, is reporting only partially the same activity.

Feb 2008 was a short month not only due to the number of days but also because the Gateway to SP change occurred.

Reports can be accessed directly from within the statistics program (rather than from email). They appear under "completed reports" up in the left hand corner under "welcome." Make sure that you have "all content" checked in the pull down menu under "report scope."

The SP module e-mails you a link to their server when a given report is ready. This link is to a zipped (.zip) format file, which you, in turn, unzip to view two "comma-delimited" text files.

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research

This title is available online via OVID for most of 1976 through 2007, all in pdf format now. Number 115, 1976, is in pdf while number 114, 1976, is not yet available to us in that format.

This title is known by several names and abbreviations: Clinical Orthopaedics, Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, Clin Orthop, CORR, Clin Orthop Relat Res. They are all the same. In 2008 it moved to a new publisher, Springer, so the 2008 issues are not available through OVID.
