Webpage Evaluation – IOPscience

IOPscience is a database providing access to a variety of scientific journals and articles. The webpage contains a large selection of current journal titles ranging from Biofabrication to Nuclear Fusion. Of course, there’s always the factor of being overwhelmed by not knowing where to begin; however, the option of viewing most read, most cited, latest and featured articles within the journal is available.


Through the search function, there is the option of selecting as many subjects and journals to set the range of the search engine. Not only are the majority of the journals up to date, but the availability of journals dating back to even the 1960s are displayed. From their collections tab, editors of the webpage have provided the public with articles, in their opinion, to be the ones of most significance in relation to future research and potential impact.


Also, IOPscience provides a personalized section allowing the user to work with their preferences. One is able to tag articles, save searches and even set up alerts to notify when there are new articles on preferred subject material.
