indexAbout the Search LanguageIn selecting a search language, you select an index to search. For example, if you select English and search the Author field, the system will search the index that contains English-language author names. It will not search the index that contains Russian-language names. If Auto-select is the setting, the system will detect the language of the search term(s) and search the appropriate index. For example:

Most of the English-language content in Chinese Science Citation Database derives from translations of Chinese-language content. However, there are records that contain only English-language content. In this case, there are seven records in the database in which the author name MA Yuanliang appears but the name 马远良 does not appear. Keep in mind that the name MA Yuanliang may appear in the author list in records from databases aside from Chinese Science Citation Database. Consequently, the search Author: (MA Yuanliang) executed in Chinese Science Citation Database may retrieve fewer records than the same search executed in All Databases. indexScientific Terms and AbbreviationsMany scientific terms and abbreviations always appear in English.
