Search strategies
At the Advanced Search screen:
- Type a keyword or "phrase" in the first Search box and click on the Go button.
- Use quotation marks to indicate a phrase.
Varying your search
If you have too many results, modify your search. The easiest way is to go to the top of your Search Results screen and click on the Edit Search link. Here you find a duplicate of your search, complete with your original keywords. Modify your search by adding keywords in the additional Search boxes. Separate each keyword with the appropriate Boolean operators (AND, OR, or NOT) from the pull-down menus on the left.
Examples:
- internet AND "web design" narrows your search, finding only those articles which mention both the Internet and Web design.
- web OR internet widens your search by including articles which refer to the Web or the Internet or both.
- web NOT arachnida narrows your search, excluding articles which refer to arachnida (spiders).
Truncation and wildcards
You can search for different forms of the same word or for words with different spellings using truncation and wildcards.
- The symbol * stands for different endings of the same basic word. nurs* will find articles containing the words nurse, nurses and nursing (as well as nursery or nurseries, so be careful).
- The ? symbol is a wildcard used to replace any single character in a word. organi?ation will find both organization and organisation.
Search in particular fields
- The pull-down menu to the right of each search box allows you to restrict your keyword search to particular fields in the record of each article. The default is All Fields. If you choose Keywords, your search terms will only be run against the author-supplied keywords.
- Use Advanced Search to find a known article. For example, if you want to find the article by Lesley Rogers on "Saliva sampling to assess cortisol levels in unrestrained common marmosets and the effect of behavioral stress" in the American Journal primatology, you can use the following search: rogers (Author) AND "saliva sampling to assess cortisol" (Article Titles) AND "american journal of primatology" (Publication Titles).
Date range
- Scroll down the page so you can select the date range for your search. Choose from All dates, a specified number of months or type your preferred dates.
Other ways to limit your search
- Limit the Product Type to Journals by ticking the appropriate box.
- You can also limit your search by selecting one or more of the broad Subjects offered by ticking the appropriate box or boxes.
Viewing records
Your results appear as a list of relevant articles. There is a maximum of 25 references per page. The results of your search can be viewed in the following formats:
- Abstract: As well as the citation and abstract this format provides author supplied keywords, authors’ addresses, a link to related articles and, where applicable, details of funding providers.
- References: Provides the bibliography for the article concerned and possible linking to the cited articles.
- Full Text PDF: Provides scanned page images of the article as originally published. These images are in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format. This format is the best one to use for correct referencing in your writing.
To view an article, click on the Full Text PDF link. If the article is not available in Wiley InterScience go to the University Library catalogue and search for the journal title to see if it is held elsewhere.
Sorting records
The default display of records is by relevancy. This means that those articles best matching your search criteria will be placed at the top of the results list.
- From the results page you can also sort your list in date order from the most recent to the oldest by clicking on the Sort by Date link.
- To list your results in alphabetical order by journal title click on the Sort by Product link.
Marking records
If you are interested in a number of articles, you can make a list by clicking in the check boxes to the left of each citation.

From this page, you can email or print the abstract, link to the full text of the article or move to the next record that you marked.
