Evaluation of the three platforms highlights how well they are providing for the different levels of users, the ease in navigation and use, flexibility in display and output formats, availability of useful help, update frequency, and added features for discoverability and alerting. Examples of retrieval using standardized searches from the databases highlight the recall and precision of the search results.", }
