Bibliographic Search
The Bibliographic Search allows you to look up crystal structure data by publication data (Fig. 1).
Figure 1: Bibliographic Search screen.
Authors
The author search is not case sensitive; the wildcard “*” is allowed in the search field. Exact phrases have to be enclosed in quotation marks. Search terms (unlimited number allowed) have to be separated by a blank; those search terms are then combined by logical AND.
Examples:
Search term | will find all entries with (at least) these terms in the authors list |
Jansen | Jansen |
jAnSEn | |
“Jansen, M.” | M. Jansen |
Jans* | Jans[arbitrary rest], such as Jansen, Janssen, Jansson etc. |
*heim | [arbitrary beginning]heim, such as Heim (!), Didisheim, Guggenheim etc. |
schmidt mueller | Schmidt AND Mueller |
Title of Journal
The journal search is not case sensitive; the wildcard “*” is allowed in the search field. Exact phrases have to be enclosed in quotation marks. Search terms (unlimited number allowed) have to be separated by a blank; those search terms are then combined by logical AND. Thus, the user does not have to type in the complete title. Often a meaningful abbreviation is less error prone than having to type in a long journal title. It is possible to enter a CODEN as a search term. The routine interprets an input of exactly 6 characters as a CODEN.
Examples:
Search term | will find all entries with (at least) these terms in the reference list |
Acta Chim Hung | Acta Chimica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae |
zaacab | Zeitschrift fuer Anorganische und Allgemeine Chemie |
nature | No hits because there is no journal with CODEN nature. The Journal "Nature" can be found by enclosing the journal title in quotation marks. |
Title of Article
The title search is not case sensitive; the wildcard “*” is allowed in the search field. Exact phrases have to be enclosed in quotation marks. Search terms (unlimited number allowed) have to be separated by a blank; those search terms are then combined by logical AND.
Examples:
Search term | will find all entries with (at least) these terms in the title of article list |
Pressure ice | Pressure AND ice, such as “Crystal structures of the high-pressure forms of ice: Ice III” and “Lattice Parameters and Lattice Energies of High-Pressure Polymorphs of some Alkali Halides” (!) |
thio sulfate | thio AND sulfate, such as “X-ray study of two nickel(II)-thiosulfate compounds” and “X-ray diffraction study of copper(I)thiourea complexes formed in sulfate-containing acid solutions” |
thiosulfate | thiosulfate, such as “X-ray study of two nickel(II)-thiosulfate compounds” and NOT “X-ray diffraction study of copper(I)thiourea complexes formed in sulfate-containing acid solutions” |
Year of Publication
Up to 5 (numerical) search terms are allowed in the entry field. The search terms have to be separated by blanks. You are allowed to search for ranges by either using the hyphen (-) between search terms or by using less than (<) or greater than (>) in combination with the year. The search terms are combined by logical OR.
Examples:
Search term | will find all entries with (at least) these terms publication year list |
1974 | 1974 |
1974 1975 | 1974 OR 1975 |
1974-1976 | 1974 OR 1975 OR 1976 |
1925 1951-1954 | 1925 OR 1951 OR 1952 OR 1953 OR 1954 |
