This release comes right after our successful launch of the guideline score last month. And guess what? We are already gearing up to develop a comprehensive scoring system for systematic reviews!

Exciting Additions: We have some fantastic updates to share:

  • Enhanced Guideline Offering: We are proud to introduce a new 'European' guideline category, expanding our comprehensive range of guidelines.
  • Streamlined Content: Our commitment to quality means we've implemented a robust system to eliminate duplicate articles in Trip. Through this enhancement, we have successfully detected and removed nearly 150,000 duplicate records, ensuring a more efficient and reliable experience.
