Dear INSPIRE users,

There is another part of INSPIRE tips that can help you use the system quicker and better. We wanted to remind you about some of the latest improvements we have implemented.

• If you for example search for: f a ivanov, i and j yafia and d > 2000 and then select the citesummary option from the drop-down menu, the citations summary table for that particular set of results appears. At the bottom of the citation summary page, there is an option to exclude self-citations. Clicking one of the counts on the citation summary page shows you the individual articles that comprise that count.
• We would like to remind you that we have recently completed an improvement on the topcites feature. INSPIRE considers a paper top-cited, if it is cited more than 50 times. Now the results are marked with different-coloured little flags in the result list according to how often a paper is cited.
• We are happy to tell you that the job matrix is available now

Dear INSPIRE users,

Following the previous blogpost with author search tips, we would like to share a couple of more tricks for easier search on INSPIRE.

Dates

• You can search by dates using two-digit or four-digit years by: find a maldacena and d 97
• You can search by a period of time by: find a maldacena and d 1997->2011
• You can both search for the date when a record was added (da) and the date when a record was updated (du). Just remember that searching for dates before or after a certain year will also include results for the specified date, along with all other results.
• Specifying date searches with “today” or “last year” also gives results. Check here for more information.
• The search above in Invenio syntax will look like this: author:maldacena year:1997

Full-text

• To search full-text, use the “ft” option: find ft “dark matter” (in Invenio syntax, this will equal: fulltext:”dark matter”)
• You can also perform more complex searches: find ft “dark matter” and d 2011-11

Just have in mind that full-text searching is available for all arXiv papers, but not for all theses, reports and journal articles.
