The menu entry Papers provides you a complete list of the papers maintained within SciPaMaTo. There are simple filters you can use to narrow down the selection of papers.

1. Filtering records

You can filter the records by entering a search string into any one or more of the filter fields. Press Enter to start querying the filtered data.

The text you enter into the filter fields can appear anywhere in the fields that are searched.

If you enter search strings into more than one filter field, a paper has to match all filter criteria to be part of the resulting list (AND search).

All filters are case insensitive, e.g. you’ll find the author 'Dorans' regardless of whether you’re filtering by 'dorans', 'Dorans', 'DORANS' or even 'dOrAnS'.

1.1. Number Search

The field searched numerically is the following:

• Number (No.)

ℹ️	You can only enter a single number, no wildcards, no ranges, etc.

1.2. Method Search

The fields searched are the following:

• Methods

• Study Design

• Place/Country (also searched in Population Search)

• Outcome

• Pollutant

• Exposure Assessment

• Statistical Method

• Confounders

1.3. Population Search

The fields searched are the following:

• Population

• Place/Country (also searched in Method Search)

• Participants

1.4. Authors Search

1.5. Publication Year

There are two filter fields:

• Pub. Year (from) Limit the list of papers to those issued in the specified year or later.

• Pub. Year (until) Limit the list of papers to those issued in the specified year or before

If you enter a value in both fields, you are limiting the list of papers to those issued in or between the two specified years.

1.6. All other fields

Any search term entered into the Search all other fields filter field will be applied to all other fields, i.e.

• DOI

• Location

• Title

• Goals

• Results

• Exposure (Range)

• Effect Estimate/Results

• Measured Outcome

• Conclusion

• Comment

• Original Abstract

ℹ️	ID and PMID are currently not searched from this page.

2. Sorting the results

Note that the sort indicator is in the right of the column title. This can be a little confusing if the column is very wide.

The fourth sort indicator in the screenshot above belongs to Year while the sort indicator for Title is on the very far right.

3. Newsletter Association

In the column on the right in the result table, you can see icons indicating newsletter associations. A closed envelope indicates a paper has been associated with a newsletter issue. Hovering over the icon reveals the actual issue number.

The next screenshot illustrates the situation where we do not have a newsletter in status In Progress. You cannot add or remove associations but only view existing ones.

If there is a newsletter in status In Progress, the view changes. In addition to the closed envelope — now indicating an association with an older newsletter` — we now also have two more icons:

• a paper associated with the current (i.e. status In progress) newsletter shows an open envelope.

• any paper with no association with any newsletter offers a + icon

• Clicking the + icon associates the paper with the current newsletter.

• Clicking the open envelope removes the association of the paper with the current newsletter.

Hence you can add and/or remove papers from the current newsletter from this view as it suits your purposes. You can also do this from the Paper Edit Page or from the Search page.
