Volume: Enter volume number
Part: Enter part number
Page: Enter first page number of article

Notes for Advanced Searching
  • You do not have to enter a whole word into Title. Example: entering 'brach' will find brachiopod, Brachiopoda, Brachiosaurus etc.
  • Author searches also return articles where the name supplied is part of a longer name. Example: entering 'Harris' will find articles by Harris, Harrisson, etc.
  • Searches are case-insensitive in all fields. Example: entering 'BrACh' in Title will still find brachiopod, Brachiopoda, Brachiosaurus etc.
  • The Year field can take ranges and inequalities. Examples 1990-1995; between 1990 and 1995 inclusive. >1990; after 1990. <=1980; 1980 or earlier.
  • Use * for wildcard in Title or Authors (wildcards represent any text or no text). Example: entering 'pal*eontolgy' will find all references to 'palaeontolgy' and 'paleontology'.
  • Searches ignore accented characters in authors names. Example 'ho*' in Authors will find both Högström and House
  • Use 'Boolean' expressions in Title to perform complex searches. Examples:
    - Brachiopod & Articulat - find all articles whose title contains both 'Brachiopod' and 'Articulat'. Note that the latte will find both 'articulate' and 'articulata'.

    - Brachiopod + Articulat - find all articles whose title contains either 'Brachiopod' or 'Articulat' (or both). This will return references to articulate crinoids as well as brachiopods.

    - jurassic & (fish + crocod) - find all articles whose title contains 'Jurassic' and also either 'fish' or 'crocod'

    - (quaternary + tertiary + cene) & (cat + felid) - find all articles referring to either cats (or felids) and either Tertiary, Quaternary or anything containing 'cene'
