Refining Your Results

If you get too many results, you can help decrease the number of citations retrieved by refining your search. SciFinder Scholar allows you to refine your search when entering your research topic by clicking on "Filters."

Explore by Research Topic dialog box with additional options

You can limit by Publication Year, Document Type (like Journal, Patent, or Review), Language, Author, or Company Name (like DuPont or University of North Carolina). For instance, if you just wanted recently published background information on a subject that was in English, you could limit Document Type to Review, Language to English, and Publication Year 2000-2004.
