Refining your Search Results

You can refine your search further on the results page using the filters and features in the left-hand toolbar. You can:

  • Search within Results - You can enter another set of search terms, and instruct the search to look for these items in the search results.

  • Narrow by Date Range - Narrow your results to work published in a specific date range by using the sliding arrows to select a range of dates, or enter a single year.

  • Narrow by Publication - You can specify which publication/s you want search: begin typing the name of the journal, and select the title from the drop down menu that appears as you type. It will appear below with a checked box next to it.

    You can add as many titles as you want; when done click Apply Refinements. To remove a title from the search parameters, click on the checkbox near the title's name and select  Apply Refinements again.

  • Narrow by Keyword - This section lists key words and phrases that appear in the search results in order of frequency. The number of articles in which the keyword appears is displayed in parentheses next to the keyword.

    Select the checkbox next to a keyword to narrow your search results to research that contains the word/phrase. The search results page will automatically reload to apply the new keyword.

    You can apply multiple keywords, but please note that they must be applied individually. Be careful about the order you apply keyword filters, as the subsequent keywords are searched against the filtered results of the first keyword filter applied.

    E.g.; if you first choose "Taxonomy" as a keyword, when the search page is reloaded the Keyword section will only display keywords that are found in articles containing "Taxonomy." To deselect a keyword, click on the checked box next to it.

  • Narrow by Access - Filter your results for articles that are Open Access.

  • Narrow by Author - Select the checkbox next to an author's name/s to filter the search results to display only work they have authored. The number of articles the author has written that appear in this search is displayed in parentheses next to their name.

    To select an author, click on the checkbox next to their name. The search results page will reload to display the search results that this individual authored. As with the keyword refinements, you can apply multiple authors to the search parameters from the search results page, but individually - see below. Be careful about the order you apply author filters, as the subsequent authors are then searched against the filtered results of the first author filter applied.

    E.g.; if you first select John. A. Smith, when the search results page is reloaded, the Author section will only list authors who have worked with John A. Smith. To deselect an author, click on the checked box next to their name.

  • Narrow by Affiliation - Filter the search results by the affiliation of the author by selecting the checkbox next to the institution's name. The number of articles authored by an individual affiliated with an institution that appears in the search results is displayed in parentheses next to the institution's name.

    To select an institution, click on the checkbox next to the institution's name. The search results page will reload to display search results from authors at this specific institution.

    As with the Author and Keyword refinements, you can apply multiple institutional affiliations to the search parameters from the search page. Be careful about the order you apply the institutional affiliation filters, as the subsequent institutional affiliations are then searched against the filtered results of from the first institutional affiliation filter applied.

    E.g.; if you first selected University, when the search results page is reloaded the  Affiliation section will only list institutions whose authors have worked with authors from University. To deselect an institution, click on the checked box next to it.

As you add more criteria/filters, they will appear at the very top of the page. To remove specific criteria, click on the X next to the criteria/filter you wish to remove.

You can sort the search results by using the drop-down menus in the black bar above the search results. 

Using the drop-down menu by  Sort By, you can re-order your results according to their relevance to your search, from oldest to newest/ newest to oldest, and from A-Z or Z-A, according to article title.

By clicking on the drop-down menu by Display, you can select how many results you want to view on each page: 25, 50, 75, or 100.

These features allow you to quickly refine a search to find the most relevant results. To save this search to revisit in the future, click on  Save Search in the upper left-hand corner. For more information, read the help entry Saving a Search.
