Some Tips for Sci-Tech Literature Retrieval: 2. How to search literature publish
||
In our retrieving practice, we often need to search the literature published by some well-known scientist in our orientation. This is very important, because those sci-giants have done much wonderful work, having paved a road for our sequential, advanced study. Therefore, referring those literature published by sci-giants are of great significance, meaningful, and valuable, for we are always standing on the shoulder of sci-giants.
However, we only process one or several pieces of paper created by the certain giants. And what we need is to search all the literature published by the author. Generally, we use the author’s name as a retrieval word to initiate our search in ISI platform. For example, when we type “Ma LQ” in the column “author”, and click button “search”, thereafter we obtain a large number of records with respect to Ma LQ, many of which are not what really want. You know, there are several reasons as following: 1) phenomenon of “the same name”; 2) L Q has different expressing forms, such as Lanqin, Leqi, Leqin, Lengqing and so on; and 3) other possibilities. How do we refine what we want from so many records?
Here I introduce a small technique to share with everyone. When we know the name of the sci-giant, we can search in ISI platform as described above. Now we see so many records present, and then we need to select a record which is what we want to seek, based on the knowledge of your research orientation, and check the specific information. The key point is we need to obtain the information regarding the author’s address, which is a critical retrieval word for our successive retrieval. Then we copy the address information.
Now we return to the interface of search, and initiate our precious retrieval. This time we type two typical retrieval words including the column “author” and the column “address” to optimize our search. Here what I want to supplement is that we need to modify the address information after we paste the address information, since we cannot guarantee the author always write the correct address information, and I mean that the author may change the specific form of address information. In this situation, we have to modify the address information to encompass relatively critical words, e.g. the name of the university or institute, deleting the specific lab information. Then we tale the retrieval, and we can achieve a success.
