Advanced Search Field Tags

Field tags enable you to search data fields within a record.

index

AD=Address

Searches for institution and/or place names in the Address field within a record, usually for the first named author of an article. The product also searches the Reprint Address field within a record.

In many Current Contents Connect records, there is an association between the author's name and the author's address. This is shown by a superscript number link that appears after the author's name on the Full Record page. When you click the number link, the system takes you to the Addresses field where you can see the author's address.

See the Author(s) field Help topic for more information about the author/address association.

Enter a unique Web of Science ResearcherID number or ORCID identifier with the AI field tag.

index

AU=Author

Searches for author names in the Author(s) field within a record.

Last names containing a space should be searched with and without the space to ensure that all relevant records are returned. For example:

• AU=(De Marco* OR DeMarco*)
• AU=(Van Hecke T* OR Vanhecke T*)
