Attributes
This dialog box contains the following fields and options.
| Option | Description | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Author(s) |
Enter the names of the authors you want to look up. The recommended format is to use one or more initials and to quote each name, for example "A Harzing". Try to use the initials that the author usually publishes under. You can enter more than one name; this behaves as an AND clause (only co-authored paper), for example "A Harzing" "NG Noorderhaven". To perform an OR query (individual papers AND co-authored ones), include OR in the query: "A Harzing" OR "NG Noorderhaven" To exclude an author name from the results, prefix the name with a '-' (minus) character. For example, "A Harzing" -"NG Noorderhaven" finds articles authored by A Harzing but not NG Noorderhaven. For more search tips, see Author impact analysis. |
||||||
| Publication |
Enter the name of the publication you want to look up. The recommended format is the full title enclosed in quotes, for example "Journal of International Business". However, you might have to experiment with common abbreviations as well. For more search tips, see Journal impact analysis. |
||||||
| Journal ISSN |
Enter the ISSNs of the journals you want to look up. The ISSNs must use the format dddd-dddd, i.e., 4 digits, a hyphen, and another 4 digits. Note: The ISSN search helps to narrow down the results, but may cause false positives if the same ISSN appears in the text of an article. Generally, the best results are achieved when searching for both a publication title and the corresponding ISSN. |
||||||
| All of the words | Enter any additional words that must all appear in the returned papers. This can be used to narrow down the search for a specific set of papers. | ||||||
| Any of the words |
Enter any additional words that must appear alone or in combination in the returned papers. This can be used to narrow down the search for a specific set of papers. Note: Currently only available with Data source: Google Scholar. |
||||||
| None of the words |
Enter any additional words that must not appear in the returned papers. This can be used to narrow down the search for a specific set of papers. Note: Currently only available with Data source: Google Scholar. |

Enter a phrase (i.e., a specific sequence of words) that must all appear in the returned papers. This can be used to narrow down the search for a specific set of papers. Note: Currently only available with Data source: Google Scholar. |
||||||
| Year of publication between ... and ... |
Enter the range of years in which the papers must have been published. You can set either year to 0 (zero) to indicate "don't care". | ||||||
| Title words only | Check this box to restrict the additional word matches (i.e., All of the words, Any of the words, None of the words, The phrase) to the titles of the returned papers; clear the box to match them anywhere in the papers. | ||||||
