Advanced Search Field Tags

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

index

AI=Author Identifiers

Searches for Web of Science ResearcherID numbers and ORCID identifiers in the Author Identifiers table within a record.

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

index

AU=Author

Searches for author names within a record.

index

DO=DOI (Digital Object Indentifier)

Searches for the Digital Object Indentifier (DOI) in the Source field within a record.

index

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*)

See also Guidelines for Searching Names.

index

EC=KCI KJD Categories

Searches the KCI KJD Categories field.

index

IS=ISSN

Searches the ISSN field within a record.

The ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) searches for periodical publications such as journals and electronic publications. If a journal has both a print ISSN and an electronic ISSN, then both display in the Full Record. The format is four numbers, a hyphen (-), three numbers, and then a check character that may be a number or X.

index

PY=Year Published

Searches the Source Published field within a record. You must combine this field tag with another field tag using the AND or NOT Boolean operator.

Example: TS=cell growth AND PY=2007

When entering a range of years, restrict your search to five years or less; otherwise, processing slows down and the product returns too many unproductive results.

Example: TS=cell growth AND PY=(2008-2010)

index

SO=Publication Name

Searches for publication names in the Source field within a record. The product retrieves all source titles within a product database (for example, journal titles and/or book titles if the product includes books).  

index

SU=Research Area

Searches the Research Areas field.

index

TI=Title

Searches the Title field within a record.

index

TS=Topic

Searches for topic terms in the following fields:

• Title
• Abstract
• Author Keywords

index

UT=Accession Number

Searches the Accession Number field within a record. The accession number is a unique identifying number associated with each record in the product. It consists of a product identification code, a product year, and an item number.
