Scientific research - web of science retrieval skills

One 、 Problems to be considered in the design of Subject Retrieval

• key word

TS= The theme	Retrieve title 、 Abstract 、 Author keywords and Keywords Plus
TI= title	Search the literature title
AB= Abstract	Retrieve summary fields
AK= Author key words	Retrieve the author keyword field
KP=Keyword Plus	retrieval Keywords Plus Field
ALL= All fields	Use a single search to retrieve all the retrievable fields

• Discipline
  WC=Web of Science Category
  SU= Research direction

Two 、 Subject domain search

2.1 WC=Web of Science Category

Case a ：

adopt “Web of Science Category ” Field Retrieval Computer Science, Artificial lntelligence Field literature .

2.2 SU= Research direction

3、 ... and 、 Keyword search

Case 2 ：

Selective screening of graphene films for ions

3.1 Identify keywords

• A dictionary of professional vocabulary / manual
• Terminology website ： Terminology Online
• Available literature information ： Synthesis of multiple documents

3.2 Effective combination of keywords

Boolean logic	meaning
AND	Retrieve data that contains all keywords . title :“stem cell*”AND lymphoma, Retrieve with "stem cell" perhaps "stem cells" It also contains and words “lymphoma”. Equivalent to retrieving "stem cell*" lymphoma
OR	The retrieved data contains at least one given keyword . Used to retrieve synonyms or different expressions of words . title : aspartame OR saccharine OR sweetener* Retrieve data that contains at least one keyword .
NOT	Exclude data that contains a particular keyword . title : aids NOT hearing, Retrieve with “aids” The data of , Exclude containing "hearing" The literature of .
Precise search	If you want to accurately retrieve a phrase , It should be placed in quotation marks . Example :“Nash equilibrium", without "", amount to Nash AND equilibrium

Case three ： Endogenous growth （ There is a difference between keywords with quotation marks and keywords without quotation marks ）

3.3 Skillfully use wildcards

Symbol	significance
*	Zero or more characters ,gene* = gene, genetics, generation,…
$	Zero or one character ,colo$r = color, colour,…
?	It only represents one character ,en?oblast = entoblast, endoblast , …

Case four ： graphene & Restore

3.4 key word + Discipline / key word + Journal Conference

3.4.1 Keyword technology field is too wide , I just want to know about the research results in specific disciplines ?

Search case 5 ： Medical robot

Retrieval ideas ：【 key word 】 robot AND【 Discipline 】 Medical related disciplines

3.4.2 Keyword technology field is too narrow , I want to search for more relevant research results ?

Search case 6 ∶ Face recognition technology

Retrieval ideas ：【 key word 】 Face recognition OR【 Periodical / meeting 】 Domain related journals / Academic Conference
