Getting started with Emerald

Searching and browsing


There are three options for finding articles: Quick Search, Advanced Search and Browse.


Quick Search

Choose this option to search for a particular topic. Type in your search term(s) and then choose from the options underneath the search box (if you can't see these, click Show more options).

Ticking the Phrase box will only find instances where the phrase appears in full (e.g. "cost effective marketing"), rather than instances where each word appears individually).

Ticking the Exact Match box can be a useful search if you wanted to search in a particular journal title.

Tick the Truncation box if required (see Tips for searching).

Choose the fields you want to search in e.g. Journal Title, Company Name, Keywords, etc.

If you only want to search articles that you have full text access to, check the box next to Subscribed Content.

Click
