Since 1966 ERIC has added more than 1.7 million records of journal articles, reports, and other materials. About 1 million records are for peer-reviewed work and 400,000 records have free full text available from ERIC.  \nHere's what we did this year:  \nPURSUED GOOD SOURCES  \nIdentified new journals and grey-literature sources (including publications from nonprofits, advocacy organizations, and government organizations) . A unique feature of ERIC is the inclusion of grey literature, which are works from sources not typically indexed by commercial databases. In 2018, ERIC selected:  \n42 new journals 17 new grey-literature sources  \nTOTAL SOURCES  \n• 1,178 journals  \n• 335 journals with full text  \n• 807 grey-literature sources  \n• 621 grey-literature sources with full text  \n• 891 grantee submissions resulting from the IES Public Access Policy  \nWORKED TO MAKE RESEARCH PUBLICLY AVAILABLE  \nNegotiated with publishers to make as much content freely available on the ERIC website as possible and linked to free content on publisher websites for 185 journalsand 126 non-journal sources. In 2018, ERIC added:  \n• 4,717 new full-text journal articles  \n• 8,441 new grey-literature documents  \n• 5,462 previously embargoed articles  \nCREATED RECORDS WITH SUPPORTING INFORMATION  \n7%  \n57%  \n2018 COLLECTION HIGHLIGHTS  Total Records  \n 9,783 PEER REVIEWED/FULL TEXT  \n 3,412 NOT PEER REVIEWED/FULL TEXT  \n 27,531 PEER REVIEWED/NO FULL TEXT  \n 7,460 NOT PEER REVIEWED/NO FULL TEXT  \nCreated records that provide information about each article, so users know if resources are a good fit. In 2018, ERIC created:  \n48,186 records, including  \n37,314 peer-reviewed materials, and  \n13,195 articles with full text.  \nPOWERED SEARCH ENGINES WITH ERIC METADATA  \nShared ERIC metadata to enable search engines, academic databases, and other providers to power their searches with ERIC data. This helps users find good research, wherever they are searching.  \nINTEGRATED WITH OTHER IES RESOURCES  \nLinked applicable records with other IES resources, including What Works Clearinghouse study pages, abstracts from grants funded by IES Research Centers, and Ask-a-REL responses. These interrelationships provide additional information and assist users in finding valuable IES resources.  \nWe hope ERIC helped you find education research in 2018.
