Searching the Publication Name Index

This index allows you to select one or more publication names to add to your search query. It contains the names of all publications indexed in the product.

The system removes diacritical marks in searches within the search aid. For example, in an Author or Cited Author search, enter Porto instead of Pôrto.

In a Publication or Cited Work search, enter Acta Botanica Brasilica instead of Acta Botânica Brasilica.

Note that the system returns all data with diacritical marks included in the record.

Subscription Information

Be aware that we limit publications based on the depth of years in your institution's product subscription. For example, if your subscription depth is 10 years, then we only display those publications that have published articles within this time period. If you cannot find a particular publication, this may mean the journal stopped publishing more than 10 years ago.
