The search tool available on the repository website is a user-friendly interface for the API search and is based on ElasticSerach 6.2.4. Here a summary is provided for the most frequent queries.

The website provides the possibility to filter for date, country, and journal through facets. These are visible before entering a search query and after it as well. On the results page the following facets can be found:

• Year: filters for the publication date. It is possible to select a single year or a range.
• Country: filters for the affiliations of the authors. Only articles with at least one author having an affiliation with the selected country will be displayed. Note that there is an AND relation between the selected countries.
• Journal: filters for the journal in which the article was published.

It is possible to use a query string along with the facets. This will result in an AND logical connection between the query text and the selected facets. For more advanced usage consulting the ElasticSearch Query String documentation can prove useful.

• Select a journal name from the list of journals on the main page, or
• On the search results page, select a Journal filter from the facet on the left hand side,or
• Enter the name of the journal as a query using journal keyword:
  • journal:"Acta Physica Polonica B",

• On the main page, select tab SCOAP3 partner countries and select one of the countries on the list, or
• on the results page, use a Country filter from the facet on the left hand side - this supports multiple selections.
• Enter the desired country as a query using country field: country:Hungary or country:USA

Note: only articles that have affiliation with all selected countries will be displayed. The list of available countries (visible in facets) always depends on the current results, so if there is no article associated with a country that country won't be displayed in the filter.

Enter the desired DOI as a query using doi field: doi:"10.1016/j.physletb.2018.01.002".

If there is more than one phrase in the search text, those can be connected with logical AND, which is denoted by the symbol +.

Example:

• articles that are affiliated with Hungary and China.
  • country:Hungary+China

It is also possible to use the logical OR which is denoted by a simple space:

• articles that are affiliated with Hungary or China:
  • country:Hungary country:China

It's also possible to negate something, with the - symbol.

It's possible to negate both keywords and fields.
