Searching the Address Field
Search the Address fields by entering the full or partial name of an
institution and/or location from an author's address. For example, Univ
and University finds institutions in which the term
"Univ" appears in the Addresses field within a record.
When entering full names, do not use articles (a, an, the) and
prepositions (of, in, for) in the name. For example, entering UNIV
Pennsyvania is OK but entering University of Pennsylvania
results in an error message.
Note that common address terms may be abbreviated in the product database.
For example, the word Department may be abbreviated as Dept or Dep.
We recommend that you combine an Address search with an Author search to
broaden or narrow your search results.
index
Note: In Web of Science Core Collection and
Current Contents Connect records, a superscript number may appear after
an author's name in a Full Record. This means we have found an association
between the author's name and the author's address. When you click the number
link, the system takes you to the Addresses field where you can see the author's
address.
index
Address Examples
The system maps abbreviated address terms to known full address terms and
vice-versa. For example:
-
Ave maps to Avenue and Avenue maps to Ave
-
Med maps to Medicine, Medical, and Medicinal and these three
terms map to Med and to each other
-
Pkwy maps to Parkway and Parkway maps to Pkwy
-
Univ maps to University and University maps to Univ
index
SAME Operator
Use the SAME operator because it specifies that terms joined by the operator
be in the same address. Using the SAME operator restricts your search.
For example, the search query IBM SAME NY retrieves records
that contain these two terms in the Addresses field of a Full Record. For
instance:
IBM Res Corp, Yorktown Heights, NY 10598 USA
See also
SAME
index
AND Operator
Use the AND operator to broaden your search across all addresses within a
record.
The search IBM AND NY retrieves all of the records that
IBM SAME NY retrieves. In addition, it will retrieve records in
which IBM and NY are in the Address field but they are in different addresses.
For example, IBM AND NY retrieves a record that contains
these two addresses.
1. Cornell Univ, Dept Mat Sci & Engn, Ithaca, NY 14853
USA
2. IBM Corp, Almaden Res Ctr, Div Res, San Jose, CA 95120 USA
As you can see, the product returned a record in which NY appears in one
address and IBM appears in a different address.
