Search for Authors

The Search for Authors option allows Editors to search the publication's database. Search tool functions the same way as Search People with fewer criteria.

  1. Select Search for Authors from the drop-down menu on the Author Selection Summary page and click Go.
  2. In the search tool grid, use the drop-down menu to select search criteria (Last Name, First Name, etc.).
  3. Use the drop-down menu to set inclusion or exclusion (Is, Is not).
  4. Use the drop-down menu to choose a selector (Contains, Begins with, Ends with).
  5. Enter a value in the text box.
  6. Define additional criteria if necessary.
  7. Click Search. Search results appear below the tool in the Author Candidates grid.

Used for identifying Authors to invite for Commentaries and Proposals, the search tool includes five columns: Criterion, Is/Is not, Selector, Value, and relationship definition (AND, OR). One or more criteria may be selected. The Value column is a text box (for user data entry). All other columns contain drop-down lists.
