Searching for documents
- Scopus opens in Document search mode.
- Rows can be added using the + sign, as indicated.
- Enter your search terms in the box provided. It is best practice to use one search row per search concept.
- Use the OR connector to link similar search terms and their variants e.g. "inflammatory bowel disease" OR IBD
- Use “quotation marks” for a phrase e.g. “genetic engineering”. The truncation symbol is an asterisk to get variant spellings/plurals e.g. hypertens*
- Use AND to find where both phases / terms are in the document. In general, an assumed "AND" combination operator is used for spaces
between terms. Thus a search will match any document that includes all terms.
