bibdb :: BCB - Berlin Center for Genome Based Bioinformatics [ add | search ]      


We hope that this little page will help you!

**SEARCH** All fields are *and*-associated that means that every field must return true!

e.g.
Author: "Smith, G"
Keyword: "+energy"
Year: "2002"

will only show publications written in 2002 *AND* where one of the authors is "Smith, G" *AND* where the word "energy" occures in the dataset.
 
Author This field can be used to find all publications of one special author (e.g. "Smith, G")!
There is no possibility to band multiple authors together without using the "Keyword"-Field!

e.g.
Author: "Smith, G"
Keyword: "+Stoller -Wilson"
 

Keyword The boolean full-text search capability supports the following operators:

+
A leading plus sign indicates that this word must be present in every row returned.
-
A leading minus sign indicates that this word must not be present in any row returned.
By default (when neither plus nor minus is specified) the word is optional, but the rows that contain it will be rated higher. This mimicks the behavior of MATCH() ... AGAINST() without the IN BOOLEAN MODE modifier.
< >
These two operators are used to change a word's contribution to the relevance value that is assigned to a row. The < operator decreases the contribution and the > operator increases it. See the example below.
( )
Parentheses are used to group words into subexpressions.
~
A leading tilde acts as a negation operator, causing the word's contribution to the row relevance to be negative. It's useful for marking noise words. A row that contains such a word will be rated lower than others, but will not be excluded altogether, as it would be with the - operator.
*
An asterisk is the truncation operator. Unlike the other operators, it should be appended to the word, not prepended.
"
The phrase, that is enclosed in double quotes ", matches only rows that contain this phrase literally, as it was typed.

And here are some examples:

apple banana
find rows that contain at least one of these words.
+apple +juice
... both words.
+apple macintosh
... word ``apple'', but rank it higher if it also contain ``macintosh''.
+apple -macintosh
... word ``apple'' but not ``macintosh''.
+apple +(>turnover <strudel)
... ``apple'' and ``turnover'', or ``apple'' and ``strudel'' (in any order), but rank ``apple turnover'' higher than ``apple strudel''.
apple*
... ``apple'', ``apples'', ``applesauce'', and ``applet''.
"some words"
... ``some words of wisdom'', but not ``some noise words''.

The keyword-search concerns the following fields:

bibtype, address, author, booktitle, editor, howpublished, institution, journal, sortkey, note, organization, publisher, school, title
 

Year This field can be used to find all publications published in a special year by a single value or by range (Range defined by a dash (-))All values must be separated by semicolon (;).

e.g.
"2000"
"2000-2002; 2004; 2008"
 

Export The export gives you the possibility to export the result into a special word-processing format like "pdf" or "rtf" as well as "bibtex". Furthermore you can define the output format by editing the output table in the textarea! The syntax of the output table is as follows:

[bibtype:[<<fieldname>>[<I>][<B>]$fieldname$[</B>][</I>]<</fieldname>>]...]

e.g. "article:<<knownauthor>><B>$author$</B><</knownauthor>><<unknownauthor>>$author$<</unknownauthor>><<year>> (<<month>>$month$ <</month>>$year$)<</year>>.<<title>> <I>$title$</I>.<</title>><<journal>> $journal$<</journal>><<volume>> $volume$<</volume>><<number>>($number$)<</number>><<pages>>:$pages$<</pages>><<note>><BR>$note$<</note>>"

Allowed are all bibtypes and their appropriate mandatory and optional fields.

Name Mandatory-Fields Optional-Fields
article author,title,journal,year volume,number,pages,month,note
book author|editor,title,publisher,year volume,series,address,edition,month,note
conference author,title,booktitle,year editor,pages,organization,publisher,address,month,note

statedoctorate author,title,school,year address,month,note
techreport author,title,institution,year type,number,address,month,note
unpublished author,title,note month,year
15.03.2004 (Nowadays this table might not be up to date)

If $fieldname$ is empty everything between <<fieldname>> and <</fieldname>> will become deleted!

e.g.
<<pages>>:$pages$<</pages>>
If $pages$ is not empty you will see the colon and the pages otherwise you will see nothing!

Additionally you can use <B></B> (Bold) and <I></I> (Italic) and <BR> (Line Break)
