Frequently Asked Questions

What is Discover?

The new platform is an interactive, intuitive open source application powered by BibApp that fosters scientific communication and facilitates collaboration.

What is the purpose of Discover?
Discover connects local and global researchers, faculty, students, patients, and the public to the scholarly output of the Loyola University Chicago Health Sciences Division experts. Discover the Health Sciences Division’s current research publications and make connections to our experts by browsing our Academic Groups or reading the profiles of our individual researchers.

What kind of citations are included?
The Health Sciences Library searches PubMed for the journal citations of the last two years for the Health Sciences Division faculty and researchers.

What kinds of authors are included?
When a group name is included as an author, the respective group member names appearing in the article will be acknowledged as collaborators but not associated with authorship. This significant enhancement allows PubMed users to identify articles to which an individual has contributed, whether as an author or as a collaborator.

How are Academic Groups created?
