Ovid: Search issue resolved
An issue with Ovid searches that include the syntax AND/#-# or OR/#-# (e.g. OR/1-3) was recently discovered and resolved by Ovid. This issue was triggered from an attempt to speed up Ovid response time.
If your searches included this syntax between 28 Oct 2025 and 12 Nov 2025, it is recommended that you review the results and re-run them if necessary. For more information on using AND or OR to combine search results, please refer to Combine Results Sets.
For any enquiries about access to 1 or more Ovid databases, please email clbfrm02@nus.edu.sg.
Thank you for your patience and understanding in this.
Institutionally Paid OA for NUS Authors
NUS Libraries, School of Computing, and the Office of the Deputy President (Research & Technology) have worked together to enter into a 5-year open access agreement with the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). For all submissions to ACM made between Jan 1, 2021 and Dec 31, 2025, NUS corresponding authors can publish OA at no cost to the author.
Library-Supported Free-to-Publish Model
NUS Libraries is now a supporting institution of the Open Library of Humanities (OLH) from Sep 2020 to Sep 2021. The OLH is an academic publishing platform that supports 22 fully OA academic journals from across the humanities disciplines. Unlike many OA publishers, the OLH does not charge any author fees. Instead, an international library consortium covers its operational costs.
*Based on NUS Libraries’ internal analysis of compiled Web of Science data.
