Email OvidSP Jumpstarts

OvidSP's Jumpstart functionality lets you create and email shortcuts to bypassing preliminary pages and target specific places within an OvidSP session. With Ovid jumpstarts you may connect directly to:

  • Journals@Ovid content,
  • a journal list,
  • journal images,
  • a table of contents,
  • an issue list,
  • a book list,
  • Books@Ovid content and
  • saved searches/AutoAlerts.

 Certain aspects of OvidSP Jumpstarts are configured by site administrators, including:

Contact your site administrator to change any of these settings.

 Embedding account access information poses a substantial security risk because user name and password information display clearly when creating the email jumpstart and within the jumpstart URL that gets distributed. To exclude this information, check the appropriate box from the Create Jumpstart Page.

 OvidSP Jumpstarts bookmark content to which your site subscribes and resolve to the current version of that content.

Click the Continue button, and OvidSP opens a jumpstart form. Generally, the following steps apply when emailing jumpstarts:

Type email address(es).
Type your own email address.
OPTIONAL: Type a different subject title.
OPTIONAL: Type comments.
Click the Send Email button.
 


 Separate multiple email addresses with commas, not spaces.
 Incorrect addresses cause the system to discard results without notice!
OvidSP emails the jumpstart and displays a confirmation page. Click the appropriate link to return to your OvidSP session.
