Authors’ Names

•	Type the required surname into the input box.

•	Optionally, authors’ initials may be specified, e.g. F.H.Allen. Each initial must be followed by a full stop, with no spaces between initials, or between initials and surname. All initials must match exactly, e.g. F.H.Allen would not find F.Allen.

•	If the Exact surname check button is turned off, a search for Allen would also find Allenby, Allenford, etc. If the box is turned on, only the exact name Allen would be found.

•	The Exact surname option cannot be used if initials are specified.

•	Only one name is allowed per box: use the New Box button if you wish to search for structures published by two or more authors. The example below would find structures in papers on which both Raithby and Allen are authors:

 

•	To find structures published by either Raithby or Allen, create and store two separate queries, one for Author = Raithby, one for Author = Allen, and combine them (see Complex Query Combinations).
