Personalise Search Results 

Personalised settings enable users to boost the rankings of electronic records that match their preferred disciplines. This type of ranking is particularly helpful for ambiguous searches, where search results come from a variety of disciplines or include a large set of articles. It does not replace topic facets or act as a filter. It simply adjusts the ranking algorithm to the general discipline of the user.

Setting up Personalisation

Setting up personalised settings is relatively easy. Follow these simple steps: 

1. Perform a search 

2. Turn on the toggle Personalise button displayed above the list of results. 

3. Personalise the results section appears. Select up to 5 criteria for your results.   

4. Select Personalise It!

5. View the Personalised Results section at the top of the left refine search panel 

6. You can choose the preferred newer material selection here if wanted
