Bibliographic Search 3 | |
This search returns reference citations from the Radiation Chemistry Data Center bibliographic database based on author names and/or words in the title and/or keywords. Each text box (OR box) allows the entry of several author names or of phrases from the title or of several keywords (but not mixed together), one per line. Wild card characters are allowed. The search terms, separate lines, within a box are logically ORed together. If more than one text box is used the results from these boxes are then logically ANDed together for the final results to be returned. Each text box used must also be identified as either a keyword or a title or an author search. If desired enter year limits, four digits such as 1992, if only two digits are entered 19 will be prefixed. Then click the submit button.
The keywording policy of the Radiation Chemistry Data Center changed after 1995. The use of keywords will eliminate any references added after 1995. Also there is a gap in the literature coverage from the beginning of 1996 into 1997 that is to be at least partially filled as time and other efforts permit.
Thus if author names is selected for the top box and the name Hug, G.L. is entered on one line of the box and Kamat, P.V. on another line in the same box, the search will return references to entries for which either or both are listed as author. The search could be made more selective by choosing keywords for another box and entering lifetime in the adjacent box, then only those papers from the above search that were also associated with the keyword lifetime would be returned.
For the case of title searching only a wildcard character will automatically be inserted at the beginning and end of each line so that the search will not be restricted to the start or end of the title. For the title only capitalization is not important.
. [technical note: * will be converted to % as the character representing any number of any characters in an SQL search, _ represents a single occurrence of any character. The actual search will be executed by an Oracle DBMS. The requested search terms will be placed within single quote characters (') as part of the SQL search, thus if a term contains a single quote, or prime, two consecutive quote characters ('') must be used for each prime or single quote (e.g. Kuz''min, V.A.). The search should be faster if the first few characters are not wild card characters, however several characters as a fragment of a name starting and ending with * or % or _ may be used.
Our web pages make an effort to show the proper math and other characters but the version of your browser (newer is better) and the make of your computer system can effect what is shown on your screen. If the output looks strange check the list of special characters.
The purpose of the author name scan is to find author names that may be used in the above bibliographic search, in the place of using an author index. Most browsers will allow you to copy the author name or author names that you want and paste them into the search form. It may prove useful to use a text editor to store author names if several scans are needed.
Enter a name, or part of the name, of an author then click the submit button. A list of
author names will be returned which match the request or any extension with a count
of how many entries match that name.
Wild card characters (*, % and _) are allowed in the name.
The number shown is limited
to the first 200 matches which may be used as a guide for a more specific search.

. [technical note: * will be converted to % as the character representing any number of any characters in an SQL search, _ represents a single occurrence of any character. The actual search will be executed by an Oracle DBMS. Single quotes or primes become two consecutive single quotes. If the last character of the request is not one of the wild card characters % will be added at the end of the request. The search should be faster if the first few characters are not wild card characters, however several characters as a fragment of a name starting and ending with * or % or _ may be used.
Capitalization and punctuation is important. The following is a sample of author names present in this database.
The purpose of the keyword scan is to find keywords that may be used in the above bibliographic search, in the place of using a keyword index or a thesaurus. Most browsers will allow you to copy the keyword or keywords that you want and paste them into the search form. It may prove useful to use a text editor to store keywords if several scans are needed. As noted above, however, the use of keywords will prevent finding papers added since 1995. The search of titles may be of some value for the most recent literature.
Enter a keyword, or part of the keyword, then click the submit button. A list of
keywords will be returned which match the request or any extension with a count
of how many entries match that keyword. Wild card characters (*, % and _)
are allowed in the name. The number shown is limited
to the first 200 matches which may be used as a guide for a more specific search.
