Federated Searching
To enable federated searching with other databases, both the Z39.50 protocol and XML Gateway support have been fully implemented. The Periodicals Archive Online link resolver provides support to enable third-parties to link at both journal and article level, by performing searches based on metadata provided in OpenURL format. All content and functional pages feature durable URLs, using OpenURL syntax.
Metadata Standards
Article information includes author, article title, journal title, journal section, volume, issue, date, and pages, as well as content type (allowing users to restrict searches to articles, book reviews, or non-article matter).
Journal records include title, ex-titles, original publisher details, physical description, frequency, publishing dates, coverage, general notes, digitisation notes, language, subject terms, and ISSN.
Marc Records
MARC records are available for all titles from the Downloadable MARC Records and Title Lists page.
Search Options
Quick and advanced searching is available. Quick searches can be performed on journal title, article title, article full text, author, or ISSN.
Advanced searches allow users to search for keywords in citations, article full text, or both. Fields for composing advanced searches include keyword, article title keyword, author, journal title, language, journal subject, year of publication, and ISSN. Content-type can also be specified.
Post Search Options
Users can sort search results alphabetically, chronologically, reverse-chronologically, and by relevance. Results sets can be filtered by journal, language, date of publication, and journal subject. Users can also save results to a personal folder.
