Exact Author Query Form

The following form allows you to query for specific spellings of an author name. Each line in each of the input fields is used as a search string. The result of this query is a form that contains all author names that contain the search string. The wildcard characters are '?' for single characters, and '*' for multiple characters. The '*' is not allowed within a name. For instance, if you specify '*string', the form will return any name that end with the string. You can then select from this list which names and/or objects to use in the following abstract query. You can also retrieve an abstract query form with the selected names filled in to further refine the query.

Author Affiliation Search Form

You can search author affiliations where available. HOWEVER you need to be aware that this search has limited usefulness. Author affiliations are specified very inconsistently. It is very difficult, if not impossible to find all modifications of an affiliation in the database.
