Address/Institution Index

Many common address terms are abbreviated in the product. Thomson Reuters strongly recommends that you use address abbreviations to find all relevant records.

In the Search function, click the address search aid to consult the Address/Institution Index for acronyms and abbreviations of company and institution names.

Some companies and institutions cannot be searched by their full names.

Searching for eFirst Records

When performing an Address/Institution search from the Search and Advanced Search pages, the product will retrieve all eFirst records for the selected editions and timespan.

In Advanced Search, always use the AD field tag to search for eFirst records.

Be aware, however, that if you use Address field tags such as OG, SA, CI, PS, and so on, the product will not retrieve any eFirst records.

Also be aware that eFirst records are removed from the product database when a published record is loaded into the product database.
