Version 3.8 of the Vivli platform has been released and is available to users. Highlights of the release for researchers include:
- Dedicated publication workflow: There is now a dedicated workflow for researchers to submit public disclosures for review.
- Enquiries: Researchers can now submit questions about studies via the platform. They can also ask whether a study is available from a Vivli member if it doesn’t appear in the Vivli search results.
- Updated research environment display: The display now provides more detailed information to researchers about their use of the research environment.
- Downloadable search results: Researchers can download search results as a .csv file.
All Vivli resources and how to guides have also been updated with the latest release.
“By adding a dedicated workflow for public disclosures, we hope to make it easier for researchers to share outputs from their analyses,” said Julie Wood, Vivli COO. “These enhancements are all based upon feedback from our users. Platform developments are driven by the feedback we receive, so we encourage researchers to reach out to us if they have questions.”
To provide feedback to the Vivli team, please email support@vivli.org. In addition, Vivli regularly conducts user interviews. Researchers can complete this form to sign up to take part in user interviews.
