As of this writing, Beyond Citation features explorations of thirteen major databases, including Google Books, Project MUSE, HathiTrust Digital Library, JSTOR, and ProQuest Historical Newspapers. Each database record includes an Overview outlining what the database contains, available Reviews of each database, and information about Access. In addition, readers will also find a useful Conversations feature, which offers links to outside analysis and criticism about the selected database. Beyond Citation not only helps researchers critically evaluate databases, but also teaches researchers how to use these databases most effectively.

The British Museum – Collection Online Search Guide
https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/collection-online/guide
The database is based on the British Museum’s collection management tool, where they record what they know about their collection. It was created for the Museum to store information for its own use, and is therefore full of specialised terms, abbreviations and shorthand. The Museum has been working on the database for more than 40 years and, even with more than two million records, they have only catalogued about half of the collection. They are adding and improving records every day but, even so, an object record may not have been checked. In many cases, the most recent research has not yet been added. There will be mistakes and omissions, but the Museum chooses to publish the data, rather than hold it until it is ‘finished’, as there will always be new information about an object. Only personal and sensitive information has been withheld. In some cases, catalogue entries and descriptions from more than 250 years of the Museum’s history are included as part of a record. This can include terms that the Museum would no longer choose to use. They aim to ensure that all language used is clearly presented in its historical context.

Xstructure – arXiv Search
https://xstructure.inr.ac.ru/
arXiv ePrint Archive from Cornell University is Open access to 525,110 e-prints in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Quantitative Biology, Quantitative Finance and Statistics. Among the features of Xstructure are: a) Automated generation of hierarchical classification scheme for the papers. The scheme results from classification of the papers in the arxiv database. The only input for the classification is the citation graph. The number of the levels in the hierarchy and the number of the clusters is determined by the algorithm. The algorithm creates the classification scheme, and indexes the papers by the created classification; b) The classification is used to index the new papers. We plan to rebuild the classification scheme regularly. In this way, we will take into account that appearance of new papers may lead to emergence of new themes. Detection of new themes is one of our objectives; c) A number of extra attributes (e.g. Theme name, Authority and Review Articles, etc.) for the elements (themes) of the classification (see Help); and d) Accessability of the classification in response to search requests via display options, e.g., display as Tree of Themes, and Reference (Citation) Tree. About 10% of papers from arxiv are missed in their database.
