Pubget gives you two ways to search specific fields like title, author, journal, and so forth. The first is by clicking advanced search on any search results page.
The second is using tags: a little bit of typing that tells Pubget what field to search (see below). The syntax is like Google's: the tag (followed by a colon) goes before the term, and terms with spaces (like author names and initials) get quotations marks. Use AND, OR, NOT, and parentheses () for Boolean searches.
| field | tag(s) | example |
| author | au, auth, authors | au:"Mark W Kirschner" |
| journal name | ta, jour, journal | ta:"J Mol Biol" |
| paper title | ti, title | ti:"Evidence for a genetic basis" |
| abstract | ab, abs, abst, abstr | ab:rnai |
| title or abstract | tiab | tiab:"global warming" |
| date | dp, pd, date | date:2006 |
| year | yr, year | yr:2006 |
| volume | vi, vol, volume | brown ta:"plos biol" vol:6 pg:e255 |
| page | pg | brown ta:"plos biol" vol:6 pg:e255 |
| language | la, lang, language | language:english |
| publication type | pt, type | pt:review |
The default behavior is to return results that contain all your terms (that is, to AND everything).
