What are these reports all about?
Equine-assisted services research has come of age, and EASR is here to help you stay current on what is being studied and published all over the world. We scout out what you need to know and make it easy to retrieve. You can carry your new research guide with you wherever you go, on your phone, laptop or tablet.
- Each quarter, a new EAS Research Report is sent to you. The digital-only document contains descriptions and links to all new peer-reviewed journal articles on EAS, as well as graduate and doctoral theses, patents, and conference proceedings. Each issue covers three months.
- The report contains newly-published research only. You'll still need to search databases or ask a reference librarian for help finding older research.
- EASR will open directly on your phone, tablet or computer--or all three! It is stored online in a folder on the Google Drive platform for you to refer to anytime. Your research travels with you, content from your issues accrue into a significant library quickly. You can search anytime across multiple issues to find an author, a topic, or a journal that was mentioned.
- The report is usually around 50-60 pages and is easy to scroll through. You can jump around six chapters and click through 50 specific individual sub-topics, including new EAS research in 25 medical diagnoses and conditions like autism, cerebral palsy, stroke, and psychotherapy.
- About 80% of articles are Open Access (free to read online or download and save). A few require a journal subscription or university library access, so readers may not be able to read some articles beyond the abstract without other options.
- For each new article, you will find a detailed citation, a brief description and a link to its home page to download or read the full article or its abstract from the host journal.
- NOTE: Internet connection, browser access and a Google-verifiable email address are required. EASR will open on your smartphone, tablet, or computer--or all three. No advanced computer skills are needed.
