Edit Query

This dialog box appears when you click New Query... or Edit... in the Multi-query pane. It allows you to edit the attributes of the selected query.

Attributes

This dialog box contains the following fields and options.

Author(s)

Enter the names of the authors you want to look up. The recommended format is to use one or more initials and to quote each name, for example "A Harzing". Try to use the initials that the author usually publishes under. You can enter more than one name; this behaves as an AND clause (only co-authored paper), for example "A Harzing" "NG Noorderhaven". To perform an OR query (individual papers AND co-authored ones), include OR in the query: "A Harzing" OR "NG Noorderhaven"

For more search tips, see Author impact analysis.

Publication

Enter the name of the publication you want to look up. The recommended format is the full title enclosed in quotes, for example "Journal of International Business". However, you might have to experiment with common abbreviations as well.

For more search tips, see Journal impact analysis.

All of the words

Enter any additional words that must all appear in the returned papers. This can be used to narrow down the search for a specific set of papers.

Any of the words

Enter any additional words that must appear alone or in combination in the returned papers. This can be used to narrow down the search for a specific set of papers.

None of the words

Enter any additional words that must not appear in the returned papers. This can be used to narrow down the search for a specific set of papers.

The phrase

Enter a phrase (i.e., a specific sequence of words) that must all appear in the returned papers. This can be used to narrow down the search for a specific set of papers.

Year of publication between ... and ...

Enter the range of years in which the papers must have been published.

Title words only

Check this box to restrict the additional word matches (i.e., All of the words, Any of the words, None of the words, The phrase) to the titles of the returned papers; clear the box to match them anywhere in the papers.

Subject areas

Check the boxes of the subject areas that you want to search in; clear the others. Clearing all boxes has the same effect as checking them all: the lookup will ignore the subject areas.

Please note that the subject area classification is not always accurate; see Accuracy of the results for more information.
