Publication Search

Publication Searching in APS Online

Because APS Online uses a slightly different database, running a Publication Search operates in a slightly different manner. You can still easily find specific issues of publications, you will just structure your search in a slightly different manner.

To locate a specific publication by using the search fields:

1. Enter any of the following search criteria:

• Enter keywords in the Keyword(s) field. You can enter multiple words, separated by commas. Keywords must match exactly—if you want to find Chicago, you must type Chicago. ProQuest will search all indexing available at the publication level, including the title and all of other fields displayed as searchable from that page (for example publisher and editor.)
• Enter a title, or part of a title, in the Publication title field. You can also click Browse Publications to select a title from the titles available. ProQuest will locate publications with the selected title, or
  You do not need to use wild card characters in a Publication title search, ProQuest will locate all expanded versions of the text you enter. If you search for chi, ProQuest will find Chicago, archive, and all other variants.
