 I'm Todd Quinn. I'm the business and economics librarian here at the University of New Mexico and today we're going to talk about the search functionality in Web of Science. But before we get there, I just want to make you aware of some of the limitations of this database. It doesn't cover the arts and humanities fields as well because they're more likely book-centric than journal-centric and Web of Science is really concentrated on the journal. Also it doesn't necessarily cover every journal because it picks what it considers the top journals of every field and it reviews that every year. In addition in open access to the emerging field journals are not as well covered as others. So with those limitations, these are the search options you have and I'm using the core collection but these work in all these indexes. So the basic search allows you to put in search terms and use the drop-down menu so you can search a specific field and that can be quite useful instead of searching everything. For example, if you only want to search the title or the abstract etc. Also allows you to use booting operators and proximity operators. For example, if I did a search on climate change and I'm using quotes because I want the phrase climate change and instead of using and which is the default, so the word and is defaulted between these two, I want to use the word near and near means I want water to be capitalized water to be near within 10 words of climate change. So it could be first or it can be second of that concept. So when I did climate change and water I got 70,000 results but with near I have 12,000 results because now these concepts are more closely connected than in some of the other ones. If we go back to the search and you can add another row to the basic search and search with different fields. If I wanted author I could do that as well. There's an author search which allows you to put in a person's name. People with unique names usually can only have one result but there are certain people of course that have common names. So there's a researcher on campus named is James Brown. He's in ecology. So when I do a search for his name there's a lot of people with it and it asks me which country and I'm gonna it's USA. Now with the search results I can use the left bar to find him this way if I knew his middle initial or I can look through the first number of results and here it says University of New Mexico. I can select his name and then find all the articles that are associated with him in the system and the ones that he's written or co-authored. And then you know there's lots here. Now there's also a search shows his cited reference. So if there's a specific item you want to look for you can search by author and cited work and year or use the drop the menus. So you can do a time range. So if I wanted to look up say Dr Lopez here on campus and I know she writes about street race I'm not sure exact citation and so instead of work which is usually the source I'm gonna look up title so the title of an item that has street race and I'll put in a range of say 2010 to 2020. You don't always have you know you can search this one field if not all of them. So when I do that search a number show up and what is very useful is not only do they find the exact citation this one they find once when there's a little minor typo in the citation. So these two items are the exact same site source and now I want to go look at the 21 articles that have cited this article what's your street race. So when I do that search now I can see the 21 articles that have cited that. So that's another way you can do a search. Lastly you can do the advanced search which means you can do a complex search using all these field tags along with Boolean operators and even using some of these drop down menus. So if you want to look for articles or something else. So those are some of the key resources or search functionalities here in Web of Science.
