Astrophysics Data System (ADS) Abstract Service

Exact author name selection form


This form allows you to query for specific spellings of an author name. Each line in each of the input fields is used as a search string. The result of this query is a form that contains all author names that contain the search string. The wildcard characters are '?' for single characters, and '*' for multiple characters. The '*' is not allowed within a name. For instance, if you specify '*string', the form will return any name that end with the string. You can then select from this list which names and/or objects to use in the following abstract query. You can also retrieve an abstract query form with the selected names filled in to further refine the query.
