New feature: Search by ISBN, PubMed ID & PubMed Central ID

Our DOI search is used by lots of clients to track a defined cohort of articles through into policy. Following feedback from users, you can now search by ISBNs, PubMed IDs and PubMed Central IDs as well as DOIs. The same list can include a mix of different identifier types.

After pasting in a list of identifiers Overton will give you a quick heads up about how many were matched and how to interpret that number.
