The ADS offers several new powerful ways to explore how research data is being used. Our full text index allows searching the full text of more than 6 million articles, including ones that may have access restrictions as well as many older ones which may be historically significant. We continue to improve the breadth and quality of our external linking, providing links to both data and software used in the process of writing articles. We have recently implemented our affiliation search, which gives users the ability to search and filter results by organizations, allowing for better author disambiguation and improving the ability to create institutional bibliographies. In addition, our visualization tools allow a variety of insights into the data which can be used to cluster and display results potentially leading to new scientific conclusions.
