Dialog "How Do I...?" - Engineering & Technology

Locate Conference Papers on a Similar Topic Given at the Same Conference?

TOPIC: A major way to obtain literature on emerging technologies is to locate conference papers on similar topics. A number of databases on Dialog contain conference information, including Inspec® (File 2) and Ei Compendex® (File 8). In addition, these files also have extensive indexing for conference information including conference title (CT=), conference date (CY=) and conference number (CN= in Ei Compendex).

Peter Scheffel gave a paper at the 2008 International Society for Optical Engineering Multisensor, Multisource Information Fusion. He wants to know if other papers besides his own mentioned sensor fusion and who the authors were. We'll use File 8 for this search.

 

COMMAND SUMMARY

BEGIN 8
SELECT AU=SCHEFFEL? AND CT=MULTISENSOR
TYPE S2/3/1
SELECT CN=72013 AND SENSOR(S)FUSION?
SELECT S3 NOT S2
TYPE S4/3/1-3


HOW TO...


1. BEGIN in Ei Compendex (File 8), a database that contains conference proceedings.

2. SELECT the author's last name, followed by truncation to retrieve all authors named Scheffel.

You can also use the EXPAND or VISUAL EXPAND command and SELECT the author from the EXPAND list.

Use the CT= field to search the Conference Title field. Note that this field is word indexed, so proximity connectors must be used to search a phrase.
