Query preparation for searching data into WWW-MINCRYST

You can use some variants for searching by references (primary sources of information) to mineral structure (:

  1. By Author(s): Simply enter name of author or authors (separated by space or comma) in this field. Please, use only last name (family) here (without initials: only Belov, not Belov N.) Example: you enter "Belov, Chichagov" - database will be search all references where 'Belov' AND 'Chichagov' are occur together.
  2. By Source(s): Here you can select one or some sources (usually, hold CTRL key and press left mouse button)
  3. By Years: You can use time limits for searching, restricting field of search. Enter 4-digit (not 2 digit) years here (From: and To:) and you get refererences fot this time interval. if you not enter 'To:' field - current year will be assumed
  4. By Any substring: You can use any substring for search (I'm sorry but we don't use article's names in references).
Also, you can search in three types of references: Structure (main type), Unit Cell Parameters (if additional references about it exist), Rezerve (reference to composition, parameters of acquiring etc.). You can check one or more type of references (Structure by default)

Note: Please, use author and (or) source for shortening of reference's list
