1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,066 2 00:00:00,066 --> 00:00:03,066 Advanced Search in IEEE Xplore 3 00:00:03,066 --> 00:00:10,599 To create complex, fielded searches or to search within the full text of all documents on IEEE Xplore, 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,666 use the Advanced Search page. 5 00:00:12,666 --> 00:00:16,632 Click on Advanced Search just below the global search box. 6 00:00:16,633 --> 00:00:22,766 There are 3 search boxes with drop-down menus to the right which show all the available search fields, 7 00:00:22,766 --> 00:00:25,799 with the most popular options listed first. 8 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:33,066 You can change from "All Metadata" to "Full Text & Metadata" or "Full Text Only." 9 00:00:33,066 --> 00:00:37,966 When you are searching for a concept which may not be captured in the paper's title, 10 00:00:37,966 --> 00:00:41,566 abstract, or keywords, try searching Full Text. 11 00:00:41,566 --> 00:00:47,599 Be aware, though, you are searching all words in over 5 million documents in IEEE Xplore 12 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,600 and, depending on your term, you may get too many results. 13 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:59,433 Most endusers find metadata searching to be the most precise search method. Metadata includes: Article Title, Author Names, Index 14 00:00:59,433 --> 00:01:04,699 Terms, Publication Title, Abstracts, and other data fields. 15 00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:10,833 You can search across all metadata fields or choose to limit your term to a specific field. 16 00:01:10,833 --> 00:01:17,466 There are 3 operators between each search query on the left: AND, OR, or NOT. 17 00:01:17,466 --> 00:01:26,032 You can add new lines and additional search boxes by clicking on the + sign at the right side of the 3rd search box. 18 00:01:26,033 --> 00:01:34,199 Below the search boxes are parameters for refining your search by Publication Year, like documents added in the last one week, 19 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,433 or to a specific date range. Let's do a search. 20 00:01:38,533 --> 00:01:38,833 21 00:01:38,833 --> 00:01:42,033 I'm looking for researchers at UC Berkeley 22 00:01:42,033 --> 00:01:45,033 working on autonomous traffic technology, 23 00:01:45,033 --> 00:01:54,733 so let me start by identifying the university in Author Affiliation. I know that some authors use the full name of the university and some don't, 24 00:01:54,733 --> 00:01:59,999 so I'll try both UC Berkeley and University of California Berkeley, 25 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,866 but I know there are variants so I will "OR" UC Berkeley 26 00:02:05,866 --> 00:02:10,599 with Univ* Cal* Berkeley. 27 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:18,666 Search operators AND, OR, or NOT can be typed within the search boxes, but they must be in all CAPITAL letters. 28 00:02:18,666 --> 00:02:26,299 I'm using the multi-character wildcard - asterisk (*) - to capture both abbreviations and full names. 29 00:02:26,300 --> 00:02:32,233 IEEE Xplore supports 2 wildcards -- the asterisk (*) which can represent any or no characters, 30 00:02:32,233 --> 00:02:38,199 and the question mark (?) which only represents a single character. 31 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:43,266 Wildcards can be used within any word of 3 or more characters. 32 00:02:43,266 --> 00:02:48,699 This should widen my affiliation search to find all variants of the university's name. 33 00:02:48,700 --> 00:02:57,333 Next, I'll add AND with the subject I'm looking for. To keep it broad at first, I'll search "road vehicles." 34 00:02:57,333 --> 00:03:03,533 To force the search engine to find this as an exact phrase, I'm using quotation marks (" "). 35 00:03:03,533 --> 00:03:13,299 I also want to just see papers after 2016, so I can use the date range slider, or just type in 2016 as my start year to search. 36 00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:18,033 I'll click the blue search box and start looking through my results. 37 00:03:18,033 --> 00:03:21,866 With over 100 results, this is a good first pass, 38 00:03:21,866 --> 00:03:26,232 but I do want to narrow it down a bit, so I'll add one more term. 39 00:03:26,233 --> 00:03:35,333 I'm interested in stability of systems. There's no need to go back to the Advanced Search, I can just use "Search within results" right here. 40 00:03:35,333 --> 00:03:37,933 I type Stability, click search, 41 00:03:37,933 --> 00:03:41,966 and now I have 14 very relevant results. 42 00:03:41,966 --> 00:03:46,432 I can drill down into my result set and identify key papers or people. For instance, I'm interested in this paper, 43 00:03:46,433 --> 00:03:50,933 "Stabilizing Traffic with Autonomous Vehicles." 44 00:03:50,933 --> 00:03:56,933 It's exactly what I'm looking for and it's been cited 17 times. 45 00:03:56,933 --> 00:04:04,766 Opening the HTML version of the paper, I can view the authors and their works separately, identifying top authors in my field and linking to 46 00:04:04,766 --> 00:04:09,999 other papers that they have written. Searching Author Affiliations is just one example of how the 47 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,266 Advanced Search page can help you return more precise results. 48 00:04:15,266 --> 00:04:21,199 Try searching the full-text or other fields to see how these field limitations affect your search. 49 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:32,366 You are now on your way to more targeted and relevant searching. This has been Advanced Search in IEEE Xplore. Thank you for watching!
