Searching by Publication and Article Titles

Searching for Publication Titles (e.g. a journal or book)

You can search for a full publication title in two ways:

1. Using the "Publication Title" field in Advanced Search

   • Just enter the full title (e.g. Journal of Dairy Science).

   • No need for quotation marks – the system treats it as an exact phrase automatically.

2. Using the field abbreviation DO: (Document Origin)

   • Use this in a standard search (outside Advanced Search).

   • You must enclose the title in quotation marks or parentheses to search as a phrase.

     • ✅ do: "Journal of Dairy Science"

     • ✅ do: (Journal of Dairy Science)

     • ❌ do: Dairy Science → This will not return correct results.

🔔 Important: Only complete publication titles are indexed in this field. Partial titles or individual words (e.g. do: "Dairy Science") will not return results for Journal of Dairy Science.

Searching for Article Titles

To search for individual article titles, you can use:

1. The "Title" field in Advanced Search

2. The field abbreviation Title: in a keyword search

   • Example: Title: (zoonotic outbreak)

   • This will return articles with both words in the title, such as: "A One Health Zoonotic Vector-Borne Infectious Disease Family Outbreak Investigation"

✅ Good to know:

• All words in article titles are indexed separately. You can search for single words or phrases.

• The "Title" field is a combined field that searches across three different metadata fields:

Field	Description
ET: Article Title	Original title of the article (in English or another language). If not in English, both the original and the English translation are included.
AT: Additional Title	Includes titles of special journal issues or series statements for books.
CT: Conference Title	Title of the conference (often in original language), along with date and location.

You can search each of these fields separately using their abbreviations:

• et: "agrifood systems"

• at: "agrifood systems"

• ct: "agrifood systems"
