Search Help

The CoreMarketplace search field will check the database for all words or phrases submitted. For example, University of California (without quotes) will search for University OR of OR California, which may not be what you want.

To search for an exact phrase, put the phrase inside quotes. For example, "cancer center"

Search Results

Initial searches match against general settings in each core listing. Results are ordered by when the listings were last updated.

Detailed Search

When the "Perform Detailed Search" button in the results header is clicked, the same search is performed within resources linked to the various listings, such as publications and equipment listings.

These search results are ordered by listing the greatest number of matches within a listing first. For example, if you search for "metagenomics" and a facility matches this term 6x within its listing, that listing will be prioritized above a listing that only matches that term 1x. In the case of listings displaying equal numbers of search matches, listings are prioritized by when the listing was last updated.

Detailed Search Results

Each result listing displays a "Matches" column where you can see exactly where in the listing the search term appears. If a search term or phrase appears in a publication linked to this facility, it will display under publications. Click the "eye" icon to expand listing occurances. The below image shows an example of the Matches column when searching for "10x Genomics."

Search By Institution

The search by institution tab allows you to see all the core facilities and research resources that a given institution offers.

The results screen shows Institutional data, a tabbed list of resources, and an accordion-style list of all the core facilities linked to that particular Institution.

Clicking on any core facility's bar will expand the core details. If you're curious which core offers any given resource, just click on the resource "pill" and you'll be taken directly to that core's profile.

Search By Instrument

If you're interested in a specific instrument, you can search by instrument to discover which core facilities currently have that instrument in inventory.

Results are grouped by institution. The instrumentation list is pulled from the RRID equipment resource. Every instrument you see displayed in these results has an RRID associated with it. If an instrument does not appear in the list, it is because it does not have an RRID assigned. If cannot find an instrument in this list that exists in your facility, you can easily request an RRID for your instrument from your facility profile edit page. RRID requests typically take between 24-48 hours after which you should see it in the equipment list.

Search By Organization

You can also search by scientific organization. This is particularly nice if you wish to see a list of resources belonging to any given research group.

As with the institutional results, all the resource "pills" are clickable links, taking you straight to the core associated with that particular specialization or instrumentation.

If you do not see your organization listed and want it to be, click the "Contact" link at the bottom of the site front page and email your request. Be sure to include the organization's website. Also if you need help adding many facilities to your organization, reach out using the same method.
