Instructions for Searching the Institutional Repository PuSH

• be a name or part of a name for the search in author or editor names.
• describe the origin for the search in ISSNs, journal or conference titles or publisher names.

Advanced Search

The menu item "Advanced search" takes you to a search mask with a variety of options:

• You can combine as many search terms as you like. To do this, enter each search term in an input field. If the number of input fields (standard 4) is not sufficient, you can generate additional input fields by clicking on "Add another search field".
• To the left of the input fields is a selection list with the possible link operators. This is used to decide how the search term behind it is linked to the one above it.
• Behind the input fields, the fields are listed in which you can search. By selecting them, you select the fields in which the respective search term is to be searched.
• In the "Filter" area you can narrow down the search result by selecting only certain document types (multiple selection by holding down the Ctrl key), by specifying upper and lower values for the impact factor and the year of publication or by selecting conditions from the selection lists.
• In the "Sorting" section you can define the order of search hits according to two criteria and specify the number of search hits per page. Caution: Large numbers of hits lead to long loading times.
