Results

View the results of your search in an abbreviated record format. At the top of the page appears a summary of the search statement that retrieved the results, including the selected timespan and any selected data restrictions such as document types and languages.

All bibliographic records that appear on the Results page are source records. Source records are from journals that we have indexed in the product. Every source record has a Full Record that you can access. Moreover, you can add every source record to the Marked List.

The patent number displays on the first line. To the right of the patent number(s), you will find the Derwent Primary Accession Number.

Below the patent number is the title of the patent followed by the assignee, inventor(s), and the number of citing patents.

Refine Results Panel

Select one or more check boxes to limit results to records that match the selected criteria. For example, if you select a publication year and a research area, you will generate a subset of the results list consisting of of items that 1) were published in the specified year and 2) belong to the selected research area.

Note that all of the criteria except ESI Top Papers and Open Access are bibliographic record fields. For example, Countries/Regions refers to countries or regions in author addresses, not to countries or regions where research studies were conducted.
