Advanced Search Field Tags

Field tags enable you to search data fields within a record.

index

AD=Address

Searches for institution and/or place names in the Address field within a record, usually for the first named author of an article.

In many Web of Science Core Collection records, there is an association between the author's name and the author's address. This is shown by a superscript number link that appears after the author's name on the Full Record page. When you click the number link, the system takes you to the Addresses field where you can see the author's address.
