- Results sorting options. The default sort is based on relevance. Relevance is determined by the number of search terms found in the record and uniqueness of the term in the database. Preference is given to newer materials and to the presence of either full text in ERIC or of a link to the publisher. Users may also sort results by author, publication date, and journal or institutional source.
- Search term highlighting. Search terms will appear in yellow in the titles and abstracts returned as results. This feature enables searchers to see at a glance how the results relate to the search.
- Streamlined records display. Citation information is compactly arrayed, and more records are visible at a glance.
Also note: "Free access to the ERIC Collection, including full text of more than 100,000 items, as well as more than 1.2 million bibliographic citations and abstracts."
