Tips and Techniques:
Using the Journal Name Finder (JOUR)

The Journal Name Finder (JOUR) can be used to identify which database contains a particular journal, the type of coverage given (fulltext or abstract) and when coverage of that journal began in the database. JOUR also provides journal details such as publication status and country of publication, so you can easily locate hard copies if desired.

Here are some tips for searching journal names.

1. Use the ISSN number
   1087-2434.SO.



2. Find the exact journal name
   Clinical adj Asthma adj Reviews.SO.



3. Restrict the term Cancer to the source paragraph
   Cancer.SO.



4. Restrict the term Cancer as a single word journal name
   Cancer.W..TI.



5. Search for a double posted journal name restricting it to the source (SO) paragraph
   Cancer-Care.SO.



6. Search free text and restrict it to the SO paragraph.
   Cancer adj Care.SO.



7. Truncate the term will find other variations i.e., cancerología.SO.
   Cancer$.SO.



8. Truncate a hyphenated term in the SO paragraph to find Cancer plus other terms in the title. "Cancer" cannot be the last term in the search string.



9. Use ..root on part of a journal name to find various titles with the term listed.
   JOUR 1_:..ROOT CANCER
