Search strategies for our simple search
Click for more search options

• You may specify the author's first name or last name, or a couple of words from the title.

• If you are searching for only a first or last name that contains fewer than four letters, you may not receive any matches. We recommend searching for the full first and last name (or searching for a title) in this situation.

• You may also use boolean operators: + indicates inclusion and - indicates exclusion.

• You may search by year, volume, issue, MSC numbers and keywords.

• For the year, volume and issue, say you are searching for issue 1 in 2004, just type +issue1 +year2004. Similarly for the volume, you can use volume54 for example. Just make sure there is no space between the word year, volume or issue, and the corresponding number.

• For the MSC numbers, you could enter a string like: 20M14 35F25 49L25 91B44

• 47A* would return all papers with a mathematics subject classification number beginning with 47A.

• For a list of possible MSC numbers and keywords, please visit MSC search or keyword search.
