STAT!Ref® Online Overview

What is STAT!Ref online?

STAT!Ref Online is a web application. A browser with full JavaScript support and Flash support for audio and video is all that is needed by the user.

Ease of use

• STAT!Ref is intuitive to use. Most users are comfortable in a matter of minutes with how to use STAT!Ref effectively to find the information they need.

• STAT!Ref uses an AND search by default. The Boolean operators supported are: AND; OR; NOT; ADJ (adjacent); and OADJ (ordered adjacent).

• STAT!Ref provides an Advanced Search feature. This feature allows just a selection of particular titles to be searched, instead of the default of searching all titles. It provides document type selections so that only particular types of text are searched: text (regular chapter text); tables (columnar table text); Figures (image captions); video (video captions); and headers (table of contents entries - the hierarchy of the text).

• On the Results page presented after searching there are filters to allow only particular areas of interest, or disciplines to be selected, narrowing the displayed results to the titles contained within the selected discipline.

STAT!Ref offers quintessential titles from a wide variety of publishers and medical societies. Many of the titles available through STAT!Ref are included on Doody's Core Titles List (DCT). Search all of the titles in your subscription at once using simple text queries or Boolean operators. STAT!Ref will present the results in relevance-ranked order and offer spelling corrections and related concepts to focus your search. You can also create direct links to the titles in your subscription that can be used on your own website or e-catalog.

Can I create durable links to titles and resources? Link Wizard Info
STAT!Ref provides several mechanisms for creating links to specific documents and different resources within a subscription. Individual users can email themselves links with the "Get a Link" feature available within each title.

You can create various types of links using the STAT!Ref Link Wizard. To access the Link Wizard, go to the Home page of SR Online and click the link found in the left column under Tools. Make your choices from the drop down menus to create the type of links you want and then click Generate HTML. Copy and paste the HTML into a file of your choice to use on your web pages or in your catalogs.

If you have Client Manager Access you can also login to SR Online as an admin and under the Groups tab in your subscription, click on the "Links" link and you can copy various link combinations from there. If there is no Client Manager for your subscription or you just don't know who that might be you can contact customer service and they will be happy to assist you in getting the types of links you want.
Does STAT!Ref have printing capabilities?
Yes. STAT!Ref does include a print feature which will print the document currently being viewed. Because of the digital nature of these documents it is sometimes hard to know how many pages will print. The electronic version does not have page numbers so it is often better to try and print just a selection of text.
With your mouse, highlight the section of text you wish to print and click the printer icon in the toolbar. When the Print window opens click the Selection button and then the Print button. Just the text you selected will print.

You can also copy and paste sections of text into another document to print later. Just use the same method above to select your text, right click the mouse and select copy. Click into your document, right click your mouse and select paste. Because of publisher restrictions there are limits on how much you can print at a time. Whole chapters usually will not print in their entirety. If you encounter a "print limit exceeded" message you should try one of the alternative methods of printing discussed above.
Federated Search Engine Help
STAT!Ref supports many Federated Search Engines. Here is a list of the most common ones:
  • • EBSCO A - Z
  • • Ex Libris
  • • Innovative Interfaces
  • • MuseFirst
  • • Northern Light's
  • • Serials Solutions 360 Search
  • • TDNet
  • • WAM
  • • OVID
To get durable title URLs the FSE Company must configure the correct Group Alias (grpalias=XXXXX) per subscriber and the correct FxId number that we have assigned to each of our titles.

We provide URLS & MARC Record data to some of the larger FSE Companies on a monthly basis via email and/or ftp. If a FSE Company is not currently recieving this data and would like to do so, they just need to contact us and we will get them setup to do so.
