8. Search tips

9. Search styles SPIRES-style Invenio keyword style
Searching is activated by starting your search with "find" or simply "f“
Searches indexes
Example = find a e cremmer and aff ecole normale superieure
Invenio keyword style
Can combine index searching and free-text searching
Index searching uses ‘:’
Example = quark author:‘parke, s’

11. Words versus phrases Wildcards
muon decay searches for the words muon and decay
‘muon decay’ searches for the phrase muon decay
Wildcards
Use the asterisk (*) as a wildcard character
CERN-TH*31 searches for report numbers CERN-TH , CERN-TH , CERN-THESIS , etc.

12. Boolean queries
Combine search terms and phrases with ‘and’, ‘or’, and ‘not’, or ‘+’, ‘|’, and ‘-’
Operations are automatically chained left to right
Parentheses can be used to group Boolean expressions together
Examples:
Muon or kaon and ellis
Records written by Ellis on muons or kaons
Ellis and muon or kaon
Records on muons written by Ellis or documents about kaons
Muon or kaon and ellis -decay
Records written by Ellis on muons or kaons, but exclude documents on decay
(gravity OR supergravity) AND (ellis OR perelstein)
Records containing either gravity or supergravity, and either ellis or perelstein anywhere in the record.

13. Range and greater than/less than searches
Use -> searches for an inclusive range
date:2003->2005 returns records with a date from 2003, 2004, and 2005
Searches using > or < are exclusive of the date specified
Find d > returns records with a date from August to present
Find d < 1960 returns records with a date from 1959 and earlier
> and < can only be used in SPIRES-style searches

14. Display formats and sorting
Change the display format of the results using the drop down menu next to the search box
Change the order in which the results are listed using the drop down menus below ‘Sort by’
Change the number of results displayed on a page using the drop down menu below ‘Display results’

15. HEPNames record

17. You can also get to the author profile by clicking on the author’s name in the brief or detailed record of a paper.

18. Linked author profile

19. Unlinked HEPNames record

20. Finding an author profile

21. Unlinked author profile

22. Making edits to author profile

23. Log in with arXiv
If you choose to log in to edit your profile, you will be redirected to the arXiv website. There you can use your arXiv username and password (or create a new account).

24. Claiming an author profile
You will be redirected back to INSPIRE automatically after logging in.
Please, choose the best match. If none of them matches your publication list wholly, select the closest match and add the missing publications in a later step.

25. Linking a profile to a HEPNames record
Unlinked profiles will list suggested related HEPNames records under ‘Personal Details’
If the correct HEPNames record is already attached to a different profile, you can merge the two profiles
Otherwise, click the name of the correct HEPNames record

26. Linking a profile to a HEPNames record

27. Creating a new HEPNames record
First check the suggested HEPNames records, and do a search in HEPNames to see if you can find a record that can be associated with the profile
To create a new HEPNames record, click ‘Create One’. This link will take you to INSPIRE Labs, where you will sign in using ORCID and fill out a form with the author’s name and affiliation details

29. Updating your CV in HEPNames

30. https://labs.inspirehep.net/authors/997876/update

31. Manage publications

32. Claim, reject, or assign single papers to another person

33. You can also manage multiple publications at once

34. Search for specific publications in a profile using the search box

35. Claiming papers to a profile

36. Attribute a paper to an author profile
Find the paper you want to attribute to a particular author in HEP search and click ‘Attribute this paper’

37. Attribute a paper to an author profile
Search for the profile you want to attribute the paper to and click ‘Assign paper’

38. Manage profile

39. Combine multiple author profiles

40. Find the other profiles you want to merge and click ‘Add to merge list’
The profile at the top of the merge list is the ‘primary profile’, or the profile that will remain. All other profiles will disappear and the publications will transfer to the remaining profile
A profile name with a yellow circle beside it is a profile that has been claimed by an author through their arXiv login. Always choose this profile to as the primary profile
When you are finished, click ‘Merge profiles’.

41. Additions and Corrections to literature

42. Suggest a paper missing from INSPIRE

43. Correcting reference lists
If a citation of your paper isn’t being counted and you know both papers are in INSPIRE, find the paper that should include your paper in its reference list and click ‘References’

45. Choose how the reference list should be corrected

46. Correct citations manually in the text boxes

47. Non-reference corrections
Send an to

48. Stay tuned for new developments!
