Definitions for the classification terms are added to the repository

Every classification used in the CORE-Materials repository of open educational resources has its definition now. It appears in the top of the list of resources when the corresponding filter is selected. The total list of terms in the classification tree is 243.

A set of common equations used in Materials Science released

A set of common equations used in Materials Science has been released. These fifty equations cover a range of topics in Materials Science such as  diffusion, phase  transformations, recovery & recrystallization,  deformation, Young’s modulus, mechanical and electrical testing, heat and surface treatment, corrosion, composites,  polymers, lasers and many others.

The algorithm by which results are ordered has been changed

We have changed the algorithm by which results are ordered. For a given search term, results are ordered in the priority Title, Keywords, Description and Category.
For resources having the same 'relevance', those with the more open licenses are displayed first.
Packages and equations are always displayed above other resources.
