Research Map page

The Research Map enables you to view your individual research activities over the previous 90 days in a graphical format. These activities include the searches you have done; the documents you have viewed, printed, downloaded, and emailed; the items you have saved to folders; and so on. In addition to viewing the individual steps you have taken within each research activity, you can also use the Research Map to do the following:

You can display the Research Map by selecting Research Map at the bottom of the History pod on the home page. You can also access it by selecting the History button at the top of any page and by selecting Research Map from the bottom of the list that appears.

Narrow By

Use the options below this heading to filter (and/or reset) your list of history trails.

Note: A history trail is a sequence of related activities. For example, if you do a search, view the results for a given content type, view two documents within the content type, view a second content type, and view another document in that content type, the collection of activities is recorded as a single history trail where each of the individual activities is represented by a graphical image. At the point you begin another search or start another activity unrelated to the original search, a new history trail and set of graphical images is recorded.
Search Within History

Use this search box to narrow your list of history trails to only items containing the search terms you enter. After you filter your list of history trails, the search terms appear below the Search Within History search box in the left pane, and the filtered list of items appears in the right pane.

Note: When these searches contain multiple terms, Lexis Advance Pacific returns only results containing all of the entered terms.
Important: If you use search terms to filter your list of history trails as described above, and you use the Search Within History box again, the second search does not narrow the list further. Instead, the new search is run over all selected history trails, and any results replace the current set of results.

To clear this search, select Clear search at the top of the history list.
