View Distinct Author Sets for [Author Name]
The Distinct Author Sets feature is a discovery tool showing sets of papers likely written by the same person. We recommend that you use this feature as a tool to narrow your search rather than as a definitive list of a specific author's works.
Click the name following the Distinct Author Sets label to go to the Distinct Author Sets page where you will find sets of articles likely written by the author whose name appears in the Author Names column. The articles may be classified under various sets based on subject area. You will have the opportunity to select each author set for further analysis.
Be aware that the results of your search are based on the depth of your Web of Science subscription - this includes the databases and timespan that you selected when you began your Author search. Items that do not appear on the Results page are not counted. For example, if your subscription depth is 10 years, then the number of retrieved results is based on this depth even though a particular author may have published articles more than 10 years ago. See your System Administrator for more information about your Web of Science subscription.
