The Result List

After EBSCOhost has performed a search of your terms, the Result List screen will appear. The Result List is the information EBSCOhost retrieves from the database that is searched. Search Results can be citations, document summaries, abstracts (Full Record), or full text (when available). At the top left corner of the Result List screen, you will find the number of matching results found.

To view the Full Record, click on the title of the article. See also: Full Records.

To view Full Text, when available, click on the HTML Full Text link. You can also view the full text of the article by clicking on PDF Full Text. This will display the article exactly as it appears in the printed journal. See also: Full Text Articles.

Click on the folder icon to the right of an article or citation to add it to your folder.

Click the forward arrow icon to display the next page of results (when active), or the backward arrow icon to display the previous page of results (when active).
