The Dimensions development team has had a busy year so far, and we\u2019re proud of the significant improvements we\u2019ve made to the data and features available in Dimensions since launch, benefiting the users of our Free and Plus versions. <\/span><\/p>\n

Today, thanks to your feedback, we are very pleased to report that we have invested significant time and effort in adding two new features which will specifically benefit Dimensions Analytics users to find relevant research, more efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the new Boolean \u2018NOT\u2019 on the filter level, getting the view on collaborating institutions, researchers, topics and metrics is a matter of seconds and a few clicks only.<\/span><\/p>\n

This will make life easier for you to if you have to repeat the same query  multiple times. You can now combine entities from the left-hand filter to a \u2018custom group\u2019 – which then appears on the section on the top of the filter list.<\/span><\/p>\n
