Searching the Publication Name Field

Enter a publication name to search the Source field within a record.

index

Enter a full or partial publication name followed by a wildcard (* ? $). For example: Cell Biology* finds:

Cell Biology International
Cell Biology International Reports
Cell Biology Research Progress

Enclose journal titles in quotation marks ( " " ) to find the exact named journal title. For example, "Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry" only returns records of articles published in Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

Use the OR Boolean operator to find records of articles published in any of the specified publications. For example, "Forensic Toxicology" OR "Drug Testing and Analysis" finds records of articles published in either Forensic Toxicology or Drug Testing and Analysis.

Auto-Suggest Publication Name

You can quickly find a specific journal (or find similar journal names that may be valuable to your research) if you set Auto-Suggest Publication Names to ON under the Modify Settings section of the search page. The product displays up to 10 suggestions as you type at least 3 characters without beginning spaces. The list automatically updates as you type more than 3 characters.

Type GENE in the Publication Name field to see publications such as:

gene
gene amsterdam
gene expression omnibus
and more ...

Type GENE THERAPY in the Publication Name field to see:

gene therapy
gene therapy and gene delivery systems
gene therapy and molecular biology
and more ...

You can temporarily hide auto-suggestion by pressing the Esc key as you type characters in the Publication Name field.

Search suggestions are based on your organization's subscription. The selected journal name does not always guarantee that the system finds records because the search timespan you select may filter out qualified articles.

Booleans in Source Titles

Searching for journal titles that contain the OR Boolean is acceptable with Auto-Suggest Publication Name turned ON or OFF.

index

Ampersands

Many journal names contain an ampersand (&) in the title. The product returns the same number of records whether you enter the ampersand or not. For example:

Entering Past Present is the same as entering Past & Present and returns the same number of records.
Entering Language History is the same as entering Language & History and returns the same number of records.
Entering Science Education is the same as entering Science & Education and returns the same number of records.

However, journal titles in the Publication Name Index do not contain the ampersand. For example, the journal called Science & Education appears in the Index as Science Education.
