Our advanced search offers more detailed searching, allowing you to set detailed parameters for your search, such as limiting it to a
certain article/chapter title, publication name, author, or keyword(s), as well as giving you the option to set a particular date range and
incorporate Boolean operators (AND/OR/NOT) into your search.
Lemmatization
Searches return all relevant results by applying lemmatization to search queries. Lemmatization is the process of reducing the word used as
a search term to its base, the "lemma," by removing all inflectional endings, and by taking word categories and relatedness into account. This
process is significantly more sophisticated than stemming, which just cuts off word endings in order to determine the word "stem."

This feature enables you to download the bibliographic information (also called citation data, header data, or metadata) for the articles on our site.
One or many?
Download bibliographic data for one or several articles: The Download to Citation Manager feature is available on table of contents and abstract pages, as well as in search results. On the table of contents or search result page use the check boxes to gather metadata for several articles at once.
Citation manager file format
Use the radio buttons to choose how to format the bibliographic data you're harvesting. Several citation manager formats are available, including EndNote and BibTex.
Direct import
If you have citation management software installed on your computer your Web browser should be able to import metadata directly into your reference database.
Checked: When the Direct Import box is checked (the default state), a dialogue box will give you the option to Save or Open the downloaded citation data. Choosing Open will either launch your citation manager or give you a choice of applications with which to use the metadata. The Save option saves the file locally for later use.
Unchecked: When the Direct Import box is unchecked, the metadata is displayed and may be copied and pasted as needed.
