Scopus Search

Scopus quickly delivers the information you're looking for from over 92m records. Updated daily, Scopus features state-of-the-art search tools and filters to empower research efficiency.

Increase research efficiency

Having access to comprehensive content and high-quality data is only effective if you can easily find the information you need. Uncovering trends, discovering sources and potential collaborators, and building deeper insights require effective search tools that can identify the right results.

Identify trends for key topics

Scopus’ literature search is built to distill massive amounts of information down to the most relevant documents and information in less time.

With Scopus you can search and filter results in the following ways:

Document search : Search directly from the homepage and use detailed search options to ensure you find the document(s) you want

Author search : Search for a specific author by name or by Open Research and Contributor Identifier ID (ORCID)

Affiliation search : Identify and assess an affiliation’s scholarly output, collaborating institutions and top authors

Advanced search : Narrow the scope of your search using field codes, proximity operators and/or Boolean operators

Refine results : Scopus makes it easy to refine your results list to specific categories of documents

Language interface : The Scopus interface is available in Chinese and Japanese; content is not localized, but you can switch the interface to one of these language options (and switch back to English, the default language) at the bottom of any Scopus page

Search Help

Get the most out of Google Scholar with some helpful tips on searches, email alerts, citation export, and more.

Finding recent papers

Your search results are normally sorted by relevance, not by date. To find newer articles, try the following options in the left sidebar:

• click "Since Year" to show only recently published papers, sorted by relevance;
• click "Sort by date" to show just the new additions, sorted by date;
• click the envelope icon to have new results periodically delivered by email.

Locating the full text of an article

Abstracts are freely available for most of the articles. Alas, reading the entire article may require a subscription. Here're a few things to try:

• click a library link, e.g., "FindIt@Harvard", to the right of the search result;
• click a link labeled [PDF] to the right of the search result;
• click "All versions" under the search result and check out the alternative sources;
• click "Related articles" or "Cited by" under the search result to explore similar articles.

If you're affiliated with a university, but don't see links such as "FindIt@Harvard", please check with your local library about the best way to access their online subscriptions. You may need to do search from a computer on campus, or to configure your browser to use a library proxy.

Getting better answers

If you're new to the subject, it may be helpful to pick up the terminology from secondary sources. E.g., a Wikipedia article for "overweight" might suggest a Scholar search for "pediatric hyperalimentation".

If the search results are too specific for your needs, check out what they're citing in their "References" sections. Referenced works are often more general in nature.

Similarly, if the search results are too basic for you, click "Cited by" to see newer papers that referenced them. These newer papers will often be more specific.

Explore! There's rarely a single answer to a research question. Click "Related articles" or "Cited by" to see closely related work, or search for author's name and see what else they have written.

Searching Google Scholar

Use the "author:" operator, e.g., author:"d knuth" or author:"donald e knuth".

Put the paper's title in quotations: "A History of the China Sea".

You'll often get better results if you search only recent articles, but still sort them by relevance, not by date. E.g., click "Since 2018" in the left sidebar of the search results page.

To see the absolutely newest articles first, click "Sort by date" in the sidebar. If you use this feature a lot, you may also find it useful to setup email alerts to have new results automatically sent to you.

Note: On smaller screens that don't show the sidebar, these options are available in the dropdown menu labelled "Year" right below the search button.

Select the "Case law" option on the homepage or in the side drawer on the search results page.

It finds documents similar to the given search result.

It's in the side drawer. The advanced search window lets you search in the author, title, and publication fields, as well as limit your search results by date.

Select the "Case law" option and do a keyword search over all jurisdictions. Then, click the "Select courts" link in the left sidebar on the search results page.

Tip: To quickly search a frequently used selection of courts, bookmark a search results page with the desired selection.

Access to articles

For each Scholar search result, we try to find a version of the article that you can read. These access links are labelled [PDF] or [HTML] and appear to the right of the search result. For example:

A paper that you need to read

Access links cover a wide variety of ways in which articles may be available to you - articles that your library subscribes to, open access articles, free-to-read articles from publishers, preprints, articles in repositories, etc.

When you are on a campus network, access links automatically include your library subscriptions and direct you to subscribed versions of articles. On-campus access links cover subscriptions from primary publishers as well as aggregators.

Off-campus access

Off-campus access links let you take your library subscriptions with you when you are at home or traveling. You can read subscribed articles when you are off-campus just as easily as when you are on-campus. Off-campus access links work by recording your subscriptions when you visit Scholar while on-campus, and looking up the recorded subscriptions later when you are off-campus.

We use the recorded subscriptions to provide you with the same subscribed access links as you see on campus. We also indicate your subscription access to participating publishers so that they can allow you to read the full-text of these articles without logging in or using a proxy. The recorded subscription information expires after 30 days and is automatically deleted.

In addition to Google Scholar search results, off-campus access links can also appear on articles from publishers participating in the off-campus subscription access program. Look for links labeled [PDF] or [HTML] on the right hand side of article pages.

Anne Author , John Doe , Jane Smith , Someone Else

In this fascinating paper, we investigate various topics that would be of interest to you. We also describe new methods relevant to your project, and attempt to address several questions which you would also like to know the answer to. Lastly, we analyze …

You can disable off-campus access links on the Scholar settings page . Disabling off-campus access links will turn off recording of your library subscriptions. It will also turn off indicating subscription access to participating publishers. Once off-campus access links are disabled, you may need to identify and configure an alternate mechanism (e.g., an institutional proxy or VPN) to access your library subscriptions while off-campus.

Email Alerts

Do a search for the topic of interest, e.g., "M Theory"; click the envelope icon in the sidebar of the search results page; enter your email address, and click "Create alert". We'll then periodically email you newly published papers that match your search criteria.

No, you can enter any email address of your choice. If the email address isn't a Google account or doesn't match your Google account, then we'll email you a verification link, which you'll need to click to start receiving alerts.

This works best if you create a public profile , which is free and quick to do. Once you get to the homepage with your photo, click "Follow" next to your name, select "New citations to my articles", and click "Done". We will then email you when we find new articles that cite yours.

Search for the title of your paper, e.g., "Anti de Sitter space and holography"; click on the "Cited by" link at the bottom of the search result; and then click on the envelope icon in the left sidebar of the search results page.

First, do a search for your colleague's name, and see if they have a Scholar profile. If they do, click on it, click the "Follow" button next to their name, select "New articles by this author", and click "Done".

If they don't have a profile, do a search by author, e.g., [author:s-hawking], and click on the mighty envelope in the left sidebar of the search results page. If you find that several different people share the same name, you may need to add co-author names or topical keywords to limit results to the author you wish to follow.

We send the alerts right after we add new papers to Google Scholar. This usually happens several times a week, except that our search robots meticulously observe holidays.

There's a link to cancel the alert at the bottom of every notification email.

If you created alerts using a Google account, you can manage them all here . If you're not using a Google account, you'll need to unsubscribe from the individual alerts and subscribe to the new ones.

Google Scholar library

Google Scholar library is your personal collection of articles. You can save articles right off the search page, organize them by adding labels, and use the power of Scholar search to quickly find just the one you want - at any time and from anywhere. You decide what goes into your library, and we’ll keep the links up to date.

You get all the goodies that come with Scholar search results - links to PDF and to your university's subscriptions, formatted citations, citing articles, and more!

Library help

Find the article you want to add in Google Scholar and click the “Save” button under the search result.

Click “My library” at the top of the page or in the side drawer to view all articles in your library. To search the full text of these articles, enter your query as usual in the search box.

Find the article you want to remove, and then click the “Delete” button under it.

• To add a label to an article, find the article in your library, click the “Label” button under it, select the label you want to apply, and click “Done”.
• To view all the articles with a specific label, click the label name in the left sidebar of your library page.
• To remove a label from an article, click the “Label” button under it, deselect the label you want to remove, and click “Done”.
• To add, edit, or delete labels, click “Manage labels” in the left column of your library page.

Only you can see the articles in your library. If you create a Scholar profile and make it public, then the articles in your public profile (and only those articles) will be visible to everyone.

Your profile contains all the articles you have written yourself. It’s a way to present your work to others, as well as to keep track of citations to it. Your library is a way to organize the articles that you’d like to read or cite, not necessarily the ones you’ve written.

Citation Export

Click the "Cite" button under the search result and then select your bibliography manager at the bottom of the popup. We currently support BibTeX, EndNote, RefMan, and RefWorks.

Err, no, please respect our robots.txt when you access Google Scholar using automated software. As the wearers of crawler's shoes and webmaster's hat, we cannot recommend adherence to web standards highly enough.

Sorry, we're unable to provide bulk access. You'll need to make an arrangement directly with the source of the data you're interested in. Keep in mind that a lot of the records in Google Scholar come from commercial subscription services.

Sorry, we can only show up to 1,000 results for any particular search query. Try a different query to get more results.

Content Coverage

Google Scholar includes journal and conference papers, theses and dissertations, academic books, pre-prints, abstracts, technical reports and other scholarly literature from all broad areas of research. You'll find works from a wide variety of academic publishers, professional societies and university repositories, as well as scholarly articles available anywhere across the web. Google Scholar also includes court opinions and patents.

We index research articles and abstracts from most major academic publishers and repositories worldwide, including both free and subscription sources. To check current coverage of a specific source in Google Scholar, search for a sample of their article titles in quotes.

While we try to be comprehensive, it isn't possible to guarantee uninterrupted coverage of any particular source. We index articles from sources all over the web and link to these websites in our search results. If one of these websites becomes unavailable to our search robots or to a large number of web users, we have to remove it from Google Scholar until it becomes available again.

Our meticulous search robots generally try to index every paper from every website they visit, including most major sources and also many lesser known ones.

That said, Google Scholar is primarily a search of academic papers. Shorter articles, such as book reviews, news sections, editorials, announcements and letters, may or may not be included. Untitled documents and documents without authors are usually not included. Website URLs that aren't available to our search robots or to the majority of web users are, obviously, not included either. Nor do we include websites that require you to sign up for an account, install a browser plugin, watch four colorful ads, and turn around three times and say coo-coo before you can read the listing of titles scanned at 10 DPI... You get the idea, we cover academic papers from sensible websites.

That's usually because we index many of these papers from other websites, such as the websites of their primary publishers. The "site:" operator currently only searches the primary version of each paper.

It could also be that the papers are located on examplejournals.gov, not on example.gov. Please make sure you're searching for the "right" website.

That said, the best way to check coverage of a specific source is to search for a sample of their papers using the title of the paper.

Ahem, we index papers, not journals. You should also ask about our coverage of universities, research groups, proteins, seminal breakthroughs, and other dimensions that are of interest to users. All such questions are best answered by searching for a statistical sample of papers that has the property of interest - journal, author, protein, etc. Many coverage comparisons are available if you search for [allintitle:"google scholar"], but some of them are more statistically valid than others.

Currently, Google Scholar allows you to search and read published opinions of US state appellate and supreme court cases since 1950, US federal district, appellate, tax and bankruptcy courts since 1923 and US Supreme Court cases since 1791. In addition, it includes citations for cases cited by indexed opinions or journal articles which allows you to find influential cases (usually older or international) which are not yet online or publicly available.

Legal opinions in Google Scholar are provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied on as a substitute for legal advice from a licensed lawyer. Google does not warrant that the information is complete or accurate.

We normally add new papers several times a week. However, updates to existing records take 6-9 months to a year or longer, because in order to update our records, we need to first recrawl them from the source website. For many larger websites, the speed at which we can update their records is limited by the crawl rate that they allow.

Inclusion and Corrections

We apologize, and we assure you the error was unintentional. Automated extraction of information from articles in diverse fields can be tricky, so an error sometimes sneaks through.

Please write to the owner of the website where the erroneous search result is coming from, and encourage them to provide correct bibliographic data to us, as described in the technical guidelines . Once the data is corrected on their website, it usually takes 6-9 months to a year or longer for it to be updated in Google Scholar. We appreciate your help and your patience.

If you can't find your papers when you search for them by title and by author, please refer your publisher to our technical guidelines .

You can also deposit your papers into your institutional repository or put their PDF versions on your personal website, but please follow your publisher's requirements when you do so. See our technical guidelines for more details on the inclusion process.

We normally add new papers several times a week; however, it might take us some time to crawl larger websites, and corrections to already included papers can take 6-9 months to a year or longer.

Google Scholar generally reflects the state of the web as it is currently visible to our search robots and to the majority of users. When you're searching for relevant papers to read, you wouldn't want it any other way!

If your citation counts have gone down, chances are that either your paper or papers that cite it have either disappeared from the web entirely, or have become unavailable to our search robots, or, perhaps, have been reformatted in a way that made it difficult for our automated software to identify their bibliographic data and references. If you wish to correct this, you'll need to identify the specific documents with indexing problems and ask your publisher to fix them. Please refer to the technical guidelines .

Please do let us know . Please include the URL for the opinion, the corrected information and a source where we can verify the correction.

We're only able to make corrections to court opinions that are hosted on our own website. For corrections to academic papers, books, dissertations and other third-party material, click on the search result in question and contact the owner of the website where the document came from. For corrections to books from Google Book Search, click on the book's title and locate the link to provide feedback at the bottom of the book's page.

General Questions

These are articles which other scholarly articles have referred to, but which we haven't found online. To exclude them from your search results, uncheck the "include citations" box on the left sidebar.

First, click on links labeled [PDF] or [HTML] to the right of the search result's title. Also, check out the "All versions" link at the bottom of the search result.

Second, if you're affiliated with a university, using a computer on campus will often let you access your library's online subscriptions. Look for links labeled with your library's name to the right of the search result's title. Also, see if there's a link to the full text on the publisher's page with the abstract.

Keep in mind that final published versions are often only available to subscribers, and that some articles are not available online at all. Good luck!

Technically, your web browser remembers your settings in a "cookie" on your computer's disk, and sends this cookie to our website along with every search. Check that your browser isn't configured to discard our cookies. Also, check if disabling various proxies or overly helpful privacy settings does the trick. Either way, your settings are stored on your computer, not on our servers, so a long hard look at your browser's preferences or internet options should help cure the machine's forgetfulness.

Not even close. That phrase is our acknowledgement that much of scholarly research involves building on what others have already discovered. It's taken from Sir Isaac Newton's famous quote, "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."

Stand on the shoulders of giants

Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other web sites. Google Scholar helps you find relevant work across the world of scholarly research.

How are documents ranked?

Google Scholar aims to rank documents the way researchers do, weighing the full text of each document, where it was published, who it was written by, as well as how often and how recently it has been cited in other scholarly literature.

Features of Google Scholar

• Search all scholarly literature from one convenient place
• Explore related works, citations, authors, and publications
• Locate the complete document through your library or on the web
• Keep up with recent developments in any area of research
• Check who's citing your publications, create a public author profile

This page gives tips on how to search for an individual author in Scopus using Scopus' Author Search or Scopus' Document Search. Click here to access this information as a downloadable PDF.

Click here to access a PDF containing search templates and examples of searching for an individual author in Scopus.

Author Search

This box gives tips for using Scopus' Author Search when searching for publications by an individual author.

1. Search by Author with (Optional) Affiliation

To search for an individual author, you can use Scopus's Author Search. When you access Scopus, click the "Authors" tab just above the search bar. Then enter in the last name and first name (or first initial) of the author into the respective search bars. If desired, you can also add an affiliation to your search, by clicking "Add Affiliation" and entering the affiliation name into the search bar. Once done, click "Search."

This will bring you to a results page containing authors that match your search. You can click the number under the "documents" column to access a results page of all of the author's publications that have been indexed into Scopus.

If the author has 2 or more publications indexed in Scopus, they will likely have a Scopus author profile. To access this profile, click the name of the author in the results page.

This will take you to the author's Scopus author profile, which contains the author's Scopus ID, metrics, and, if you scroll down on the page, a list of their publications indexed in Scopus.

2. Search by ORCID ID

You can also search for authors by ORCID ID in Scopus. ORCID IDs are like a social security number for researchers. If consistently included in publications and updated by the researcher, they can solve the issue of name ambiguity when searching for publications. For more information on ORCID IDs, visit the ORCID ID research guide page.

To search for an author by ORCID ID, click the "Authors" tab just above the search bar in Scopus. Click the dropdown next to "Search using" and select "ORCID."

You can then enter the author's ORCID into the search bar, and click Search.

Document Search

This box gives tips for using Scopus' Document Search when searching for publications by an individual author.

1. Search by Author

In addition to Scopus' author search, you can search for authors using the advanced document search. Click the Documents tab above the Scopus search bar.

Click "Advanced Document Search" just below the Scopus search bar. This will take you to the advanced document search page.

This will take you to the advanced document search, where you can enter your search string.

You have a couple of options you can use when constructing your author search string. You can either search by a name with a first and middle initial, or you can search for just a name with the first initial. Searching for an author with their first and middle initial is going to retrieve more relevant results; however, you may miss relevant publications where the author does not provide their middle initial. On the other hand, if you only search by last name and first initial, you will retrieve more irrelevant results, as Scopus will automatically search for middle name variants (e.g. a search of Doe, J. is going to retrieve articles by Doe, J.E., Doe, J.L. etc.).

For the below search we used both the first and middle initials. You will also be using the AUTH() field tag, and will enclose the name in quotation marks, just like in the search below:

AUTH("Doe, J.E.")

This search will retrieve any articles that either have J.E. Doe in the author field.

2. Search by ORCID

You can also use the advanced document search to search for authors by their ORCID ID. You can choose to either search for the ORCID ID by itself, or you can combine the ID with your current search using the ORCID() field tag, like so:

(AUTH("Doe, J.E.") OR ORCID ( 0000-0003-0799-4776 ))

This will retrieve publications associated with J.E. Doe or the specified ORCID ID.

3. Search by Scopus ID

You can also use the advanced document search to search for authors using their Scopus ID. Scopus IDs are identifiers for authors in Scopus. An author must have at least 2 publications to receive a Scopus ID. For more information on Scopus IDs, see the Scopus ID Research Guide page .

To search by an author's Scopus ID, you will use the the AU-ID() field tag. You can either search for the Scopus ID by itself, or you can combine it with your previous author search string using OR, like so:

(AUTH("Doe, J.E.") OR ORCID ( 0000-0003-0799-4776 ) OR AU-ID(12345678910))

This search will retrieve all publications associated with J.E. Doe, the specified ORCID ID, or the specified Scopus ID.

4. Limit by Affiliation

You can further limit your results by including an author's affiliation information in your search. However, just like author names, affiliations are subject to name ambiguity. So, for example, the University of Wisconsin-Madison can be listed as the University of Wisconsin-Madison, UW, UW-Madison, University of Wisconsin, etc. To correct for this, you will want to include name variations in your affiliation search string by using OR.You will also be adding the affiliation field tag AFFIL().

You will then combine this with your author search by using AND. So your search would look something like this:

AUTH("Doe, J.E.") AND AFFIL (wisconsin OR madison OR UW OR wi OR wisc)

An additional way to limit by affiliation is to use an affiliation ID. Affiliation IDs are assigned to affiliations in Scopus. They can be found by using the Affiliation search tab in Scopus. Affiliation IDs can be used in place of or can be combined with your affiliation keyword search. If you wanted to combine the affiliation ID with your current search, you would add it to your affiliation search by using OR, and using the AF-ID() field tag like so:

AUTH("Doe, J.E.") AND ( AFFIL (wisconsin OR madison OR UW OR wi OR wisc) OR AF-ID (60032179))

5. Limit by Date

Finally, you can also limit your search by date. To do this you would use the PUBDATETXT() field tag and add it to your search using AND, like so:

(AUTH("Doe, J.E.") OR ORCID ( 0000-0003-0799-4776 ) OR AU-ID(12345678910)) AND AFFIL (wisconsin OR madison OR UW OR wi OR wisc) AND PUBDATETXT("April 2021")

This search will retrieve all publications associated with J.E. Doe, the specified ORCID ID, or the specified Scopus ID with a Wisconsin affiliation and that was published in April 2021.

What are Scopus IDs and Author Profiles?

Scopus IDs are unique numbers assigned to authors who have at least 2 publications indexed in Scopus. Just like ORCID IDs, Scopus IDs are meant to disambiguate authors, as a search of an author's Scopus ID will retrieve any publications associated with that ID in Scopus.

Each Scopus ID is associated with an Author Profile , which, among other things, contains the author's Scopus ID, metrics, and a list of the author's publications indexed in Scopus.

Scopus IDs and Author Profiles (and the assignment of publications to them) are automatically generated by an algorithm in Scopus. While this function is helpful, it can be subject to error. For example, single authors may have multiple IDs (and, in consequence, Author Profiles), or authors may have incorrect publications assigned to their Scopus ID. For this reason, it is important for authors to occasionally review and, when needed, request changes to their Scopus Author Profile.

For more information on Scopus IDs, see the Scopus Author Profile Research Guide page .

How Do I Interpret These Searches?

Boolean Operators (AND and OR)

OR is used to combine synonyms together. For example, a search of parent OR guardian is going to retrieve publications that have the word parent, the word guardian, or both the words parent and guardian in them.

AND is used to combine concepts together. For example, a search of parent AND guardian is going to retrieve publications that have BOTH the words parent and guardian in them. If a publication has the word parent, and not the word guardian, your search will not retrieve that publication.

Parentheses ( )

Parentheses are used in much the same way you would use them in a math equation, where OR is an addition symbol and AND is a multiplication symbol. A search of (cat OR feline) AND (dog OR canine) is going to retrieve publications that have both the words cat and dog, or cat and canine, or feline and dog, or feline and canine in them.

These tell Scopus where to search in the article for your terms.

• AUTH() searches the author field
• ORCID() searches by ORCID ID
• AU-ID() searches by an author's Scopus ID
• AFFIL() searches the affiliation field
• AF-ID() searches by affiliation ID
• PUBDATETXT() searches the publication date field (note: when searching by year, use PUBYEAR())

Quotation Marks " "

These tell Scopus to search for two or more words as a loose, intact phrase. So, for example, search ing "young adult" is going to search for that intact phrase, whereas search ing young adult, without quotation marks, will look for articles that have young and adult anywhere in the article, regardless of how apart those two words might be in the article (e.g., it could retrieve an article that says, "The young polar bear was now an adult ").

How to Search for Articles - by Author

Sharpening the focus

Most databases provide specialized index fields that allow for targetted searching of specific elements, depending on the nature of your search terms.

Author searching

If your topic focus is the articles of a specific author, you can narrow your search results by performing the following author-search strategy in Academic Search Complete :

1. Click open the index field menu adjacent to the first search box, find and select the AU (author) index code.

2.  Enter the name of the author you are researching in the adjacent search box.

3.  Click the Search button to perform.

Your search will retrieve a list of articles published by the author that are indexed by the database. 

Author vs. (Author) Subject Search

Sometimes its necessary to differentiate an author's works from works about an author. 

Author & Subject Searching (respectively) furnish the tools to do just that.

Author Search:

...for Works by  an Author 

An author search retrieves records of published articles or books by a specific author in a database.

Subject Search: 

... for Works   about  an Author.

Subject searching an author's name retrieves research about specific authors:

• biographical data,

• critical reviews,

• commentary,

• historical information, etc.

Advanced Search Tips

Search by author - use variants

Author search is usually [author:Lastname] Sometimes you will need to add a first initial, and if you do you should use quotation marks. Also, you should try variant spellings. For example: To find works by Antonio Damasio, you should try [author:damasio], [author:"a damasio"], and [author:"antonio damasio"].

Exclude terms from your search

Put the minus symbol ("-") before 1st letter to exclude a word. For example, [flowers -author:flowers] returns papers about flowers, and ignores papers written by people with the name Flowers

From the results page, select the menu bar and select "Advanced search" to discover additional filter options.  This search allows you to include, exclude, or specify words and phrases for your search.  You can also search by author, journal, and date.

Hidden Profiles

Web of Science hides profiles that seem illegitimate because the personalized user data in the profile does not appear authentic or because there are duplicate profiles that exist in Web of Science. In the rare case we cannot merge a profile with an existing profile, we will hide the duplicate profile. If you have a profile that you believe has been incorrect hidden please reach out to Web of Science Technical Support.

Web of Science researcher profiles are the next stage in the evolution of Clarivate’s researcher profile offering after replacing Publons. This migration of Publons profiles into the Web of Science occurred to combine Clarivate’s two researcher representations (profiles and Web of Science author records) into Clarivate’s pre-eminent researcher-facing platform and simplify the experience of those researchers and administrators tracking their research outputs.

If you had a Publons profile, you will now find it in Web of Science.

Due to the sheer size of the migration from Publons to Web of Science not all features could be completed in time for launch. In addition, some Publons features were intentionally not migrated due to lack of use

Features which are coming soon to Web of Science researcher profiles:

Pending records: the list of receipts you’ve sent to [email protected] or [email protected] which are still being processed.

Editorial board membership management.

The ability to indicate your interest in reviewing for a journal.

This special issue of Environmental Science and Pollution Research (ESPR) is dedicated to the 14th edition of the Brazilian Meeting on Adsorption (EBA 14—the acronym in Portuguese), which took place in Brasília/DF from 23 to 25 November 2022. The event was chaired by Professor Marcos Juliano Prauchner from the Brasília University (Brazil).

EBA is a consolidated event that has been held biannually in different cities throughout Brazil since 1996. The primary goal of the conference is to bring together the Brazilian and worldwide scientific, academic, industrial, and business communities involved in the adsorption field, thus boosting the communication and interaction among these different sectors. By presenting the most recent advancements in the field and encouraging networking among academics, the event promotes the science of adsorption in both academic and industry settings. Besides the scientific and technological issues, the EBA also has strong educational and pedagogical components, which are addressed mainly through the accomplishment of the Adsorption School. The School is enclosed in the Meeting Program and aims to offer the attendees the opportunity to hear tutorial lectures on the principles and applications of adsorption.

Over 150 people attended the EBA 14, which were mainly from Brazil, but also from Latin America and worldwide. The Meeting comprised 8 plenary lectures, 18 invited talks, 16 oral presentations of selected works, and 137 poster presentations. Furthermore, 5 tutorial lectures were presented within the scope of the above-mentioned Adsorption School. The plenary lectures were all delivered by worldwide renowned scientists: Enrique Rodríguez Castellón ( h -index 76, Malaga University/Spain); Gennady Gor ( h -index 28, New Jersey Institute of Technology/USA); Teresa Bandosz ( h -index 102, The City College of New York/USA); Arvind Ranjendran ( h -index 40, University of Alberta/Canada); Melissa Gurgel Adeodato Vieira ( h -index 45, University of Campinas/Brazil); Satu Ojala ( h -index 29, University of Oulu/Finland); Frederico Wanderley Tavares ( h -index 35, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro/Brazil); and Fateme Rezaei ( h -index 51, Missouri University of Science and Technology/USA).

As the final EBA 14 step, some authors who attended the Meeting were invited to submit full-length articles to two special issues dedicated to the event. In this sense, 14 articles more closely related to the fundaments of adsorption have already been published in the journal Adsorption ( https://link.springer.com/collections/ebbhacbgdf ), having as guest editors professors Diana Cristina Silva de Azevedo (Federal University of Ceará, Brazil) and Regina de Fatima Peralta Muniz Moreira (Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil). In turn, 16 articles more closely related to the application of adsorption in environmental issues have now been published in this special issue of ESPR, having as guest editors professors Guilherme Luiz Dotto (Federal University of Santa Maria, Brazil), Maurício Alves da Motta Sobrinho (Federal University of Pernambuco, Brazil), and Marcos Juliano Prauchner (University of Brasilia, Brazil)).

We conclude this editorial by thanking the authors who contributed their papers to this special issue. We also express our gratefulness to the ESPR’s Editor-in-Chief, Professor Philippe Garrigues, who agreed to publish this special issue and gave us all the support we needed. We are also indebted to all anonymous reviewers who, with their invaluable contribution, make possible this high-quality special issue. Finally, we thank the Brazilian research agencies CAPES and FAPDF for funding EBA 14.

We are looking forward to meeting this vibrating community again in the next conference, which will take place in Maceió, State of Alagoas/Brazil, from 20 to 22 November 2024 ( https://eba15.com.br/en/ ).

When it rains, it pours: Bates’ Mike Retelle coauthors research on extremes in Arctic weather patterns

By Jay Burns and Mary Pols — Published on June 21, 2024

A new paper in Nature identifying an important influence on Arctic weather lists five co-authors, including Professor Emeritus of Geology Mike Retelle.

But ask Retelle about his own contribution, and he’ll point to the long line of talented Bates students who’ve supported his and other researchers’ climate-focused work in Svalbard, Norway, over the last two decades.

“Over the years, about 20 Bates students have gone to Svalbard for summer work or have stayed at the University Centre in Svalbard for a semester,” he says. “Mitchel Soederberg ’25 just returned from doing the winter semester, and Jamie Hollander ’24 was in our program last summer.” 

Funded by a National Science Foundation grant , the new research by Retelle and his fellow scientists used paleoclimatic data from the last 2,000 years, powerful computer modeling, and in-the-field research on lake sediments and tree rings to determine that certain types of weather over the last 2,000 years have often been due to a meteorological phenomenon known as “atmospheric blocking.”

Atmospheric blocking is what it sounds like: A large, stable weather pattern that blocks the usual movement of weather systems through an area. And in the Scandinavian Arctic, the researchers found that blocking patterns contribute to weather extremes, specifically periods of warm and very wet weather, which are becoming more frequent as the climate warms.

Retelle, who retired from the Bates faculty in 2022, remains active in his research in Svalbard, a group of islands in the Arctic Ocean. A popular research site, the Svalbard archipelago is located halfway between the Norwegian mainland and the North Pole.

When atmospheric blocking events lead to heavy rainfall, the runoff, among other things, causes sediment particles and high levels of calcium to wash into Linnévatnet, a lake in southwest Svalbard. The coarsest sediments, which were consistently deposited during very heavy rainfall, were linked with atmospheric blocking events.

The sediment record from Linnévatnet shows that this pattern has been consistent for the past 2,000 years. The data also indicate that a long-term decrease in precipitation ended in the mid-1800s, and in recent years, as periods of blocking increased, the area experienced an uptick in extreme weather events. 

“As warming continues and sea ice recedes, future Svalbard floods will become more intense during episodes of….blocking,” the paper reports.

Retelle’s contributions to the paper include doing field surveys and gathering sediment cores from the bottom of Linnévatnet, which offer scientists a historical record of environmental changes. This work, he says, wasn’t done alone.

“Wes Farnsworth ’11 was part of the project when we recovered the lake sediment cores described in the paper,” Retelle says. “He’s now with the geology department at the University of Iceland and was a co-author on another paper, published in 2023 , supported by the NSF grant.”

In this video, researcher Wes Farnsworth ’11 retrieves a core sample from the lakebed of Linnévatnet, located on the west coast of Svalbard. Since 2012, Mike Retelle, seen wearing the red parka, has deployed such instrumentation, which provides crucial and precise data about the timing of sediment pouring into the lake during increasingly frequent rainstorms.

The work is ongoing. In fact, Retelle was on his way back to Svalbard for more research the day after the paper was published, practically passing Bates student researchers in the air, including Soederberg, an earth and climate sciences major from Bedford, N.H. (The name of the Bates major changed from geology to earth and climate sciences in 2020.)

The Svalbard work has created a real pipeline for Bates students. Hollander, an earth and climate sciences major who graduated in June with honors, is now headed back to Svalbard. “She was just awarded a Fulbright Student grant to study the release of methane, a greenhouse gas, as glaciers retreat,” Retelle says.

Based at UiT–The Arctic University of Norway, Hollander will be affiliated with researchers Dimitri Kalenitchenko and Andrew Hodson (one of Retelle’s longtime collaborators). She will contribute to their exploration of the complex relationship between glacier melt, hydrological controls, and methane emissions. “She’s a rock star,” says Retelle.

As for Retelle, he will be in residence at the University Centre (UNIS) in Svalbard until late September. He is presently contributing lectures and field excursions to a doctoral and postdoc summer school for the Norwegian Academy for Polar Sciences, plus leading his regular summer teaching program for UNIS. 

“We got a new grant from the Svalbard Environmental Protection Fund to go back for two years to keep up the hydroclimate monitoring, and I’m helping out in another UNIS glacier course,” he said. “This is my semi-retirement!”

Animals have exquisite control of their bodies, allowing them to perform a diverse range of behaviors. How such control is implemented by the brain, however, remains unclear. Advancing our understanding requires models that can relate principles of control to the structure of neural activity in behaving animals. To facilitate this, we built a ‘virtual rodent’, in which an artificial neural network actuates a biomechanically realistic model of the rat 1 in a physics simulator 2 . We used deep reinforcement learning 3–5 to train the virtual agent to imitate the behavior of freely-moving rats, thus allowing us to compare neural activity recorded in real rats to the network activity of a virtual rodent mimicking their behavior. We found that neural activity in the sensorimotor striatum and motor cortex was better predicted by the virtual rodent’s network activity than by any features of the real rat’s movements, consistent with both regions implementing inverse dynamics 6 . Furthermore, the network’s latent variability predicted the structure of neural variability across behaviors and afforded robustness in a way consistent with the minimal intervention principle of optimal feedback control 7 . These results demonstrate how physical simulation of biomechanically realistic virtual animals can help interpret the structure of neural activity across behavior and relate it to theoretical principles of motor control.

Built-in electric field and extra electric filed in oxygen evolution reaction.

Developing new green energy storage and conversion technologies is an important approach to solving energy problems. In this regard, both water splitting and rechargeable metal-air batteries have certain research value. However, their development is hindered by the slow rate of oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Introducing catalysts is an effective method to accelerate OER. Therefore, improving catalysts becomes a key issue. The built-in electric field has attracted attention due to its simple construction and ability to enhance efficiency. This work provides a detailed explanation of the generation, role, proof methods, and improve strategy of the built-in electric field. Expect to strategies for improving catalysts themselves, the application of extra fields has also gained widespread attention, such as photo fields, magnetic fields, and acoustic fields. The electric field, due to its ease of operation and wide applicability, has been utilized by many researchers. However, a systematic analysis of the effects of extra electric fields has not been conducted so far. Based on recent reports, this work provides a detailed analysis of the effects of extra electric field. In the end, this article also analyzes the main challenges in the development of electric fields and potential research directions in the future.

Research: The Most Common DEI Practices Actually Undermine Diversity

• Traci Sitzmann,
• Shoshana Schwartz,
• Mary Lee Stansifer

Organizations over-rely on approaches that consistently fail to diversify management ranks — and overlook those that have proven effective.

While companies say they champion diversity, there are glaring disparities in diverse representation within managerial ranks. The authors examine the impact of various management practices on diverse representation in managerial roles and how often each management practice is utilized in organizations, shedding light on why organizations are not making greater progress toward diverse representation. Despite not working well for attaining diverse representation, diversity training is widely used in organizations. In contrast, formal mentoring programs and targeted recruitment are effective for increasing diverse representation but are underused. Indeed, the relationship between how often management practices are implemented in organizations and their effectiveness in attaining diverse representation is negative and strong. This article breaks down the practices organizations should utilize to achieve diverse representation, underscoring the need to shift toward practices that increase diverse representation in management.

Despite the U.S. population’s growing diversity , managerial roles are still predominantly held by white men. While the largest firms have been pledging to recruit and train Black workers for over 40 years, there has been little increase in Black representation in managerial roles during this timeframe. In a 2021 analysis , Black employees held only 7% of managerial roles despite comprising 14% of all employees. Women have difficulty attaining leadership roles despite evidence that “women are more likely than men to lead in a style that is effective.”

New research highlights where 'The Big One' earthquake could hit

Northern part of the long pacific ocean fault most likely to produce a major earthquake, scientists say.

Social Sharing

New research offers a clearer picture of a fault line hundreds of kilometres long off the West Coast that is predicted to generate a major earthquake and tsunami commonly known as "The Big One."

The study confirms that the northern part of the fault, close to Vancouver Island and Washington state, is most likely to produce a major earthquake. 

"It's giving us the first really detailed look at this huge megathrust fault that we've long known about but haven't had any details about," Edwin Nissen, a University of Victoria earth and ocean science researcher who was not involved in the research into the fault line where two tectonic plates meet.

The research, recently published in the prestigious journal Science Advances, produced the most detailed picture researchers have yet had of the fault zone spanning more than 900 kilometres from northern California to Vancouver Island — imaging they say helps them understand the magnitude and probability of earthquakes. 

Clearer picture of B.C.’s ‘big one’ emerges — and it’s not good

Subduction zones are regions where two tectonic plates collide — one plate sliding under the other toward the Earth's mantle.

In the Cascadia Subduction Zone, the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate is slowly sliding underneath the North American plate.

Most of the time, the plates are locked in place, pushing against each other and building stress. Once every several hundred years or so, they generate a  major megathrust earthquake  and large tsunami. 

According to Suzanne Carbotte, the study's lead author and Columbia University marine geophysicist, many subduction zones produce small earthquakes. These help researchers understand the faults and fragmentations deep in the Earth. However, in the Cascadia zone, where these earthquakes aren't common, researchers didn't have that information. 

About 50 researchers and crew took to the water on a ship that traced the Cascadia fault line. The ship was equipped with sophisticated imaging technology, which Nissen said is usually used by oil and gas companies for exploration. 

"Most academic scientists don't have the kind of money these companies have," Nissen said. "To get this kind of data for a purely scientific purpose is really exciting."

Researchers sent low-frequency sound pulses into the fault. A 15-kilometre-long receiver, towed behind the boat equipped with hydrophones, picked up the resulting echoes. With this information, researchers created high-resolution images.

Earthquakes: "The Big One" is coming

They found the surface where the Juan de Fuca and North American plates interlock is much more complex and jagged than they had previously mapped.

Kelin Wang, a researcher with the Geological Survey of Canada and adjunct professor at the University of Victoria who was not involved in the research, said a survey of this scale hasn't been conducted before. 

He said it helps explain historical earthquakes near the northern Pacific Ocean, such as the one  that hit North America and the resulting tsunami that reached Japan in 1700. 

"In a couple of years, we'll know a lot more about this system if we begin to model earthquakes and incorporate this information," he said.

While it's not possible to actually predict earthquakes, Carbotte said the information will help hazard-researchers understand the probabilities of earthquakes and tsunamis. Those models can inform building codes and tsunami evacuation plans to protect coastal populations. 

"The probabilities are high that we're going to see a megathrust earthquake in the [Pacific Northwest] in the next 100 years," Carbotte said. "[This research] does very much inform the hazard and resilience mitigation efforts."
