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

index

AD=Address

Searches for institution and/or place names in the Addresses field.

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 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*)

index

DO=DOI (Digital Object Indentifier)

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

index

EC=SciELO Categories

Searches the SciELO Categories field within a record. For example:

SciELO Categories: Biology; Cell Biology

index

ED=Editor

Searches for editor names in the Editor(s) field within a record. For example:

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

OG=Organization

Searches for institution and/or place names in the Addresses field within a record usually for the first named author of an article.

For example, a search on OG=Chile Univ* returns all records that contain the organization name Chile University, Santiago, Chile.

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)

SU=Research Area

Searches the Research Areas field.

TI=Title

index

TS=Topic
