Search tips
http://inspirehep.net/help
Search styles
• SPIRES-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’
http://inspirehep.net/info/hep/search-tips-index-list
Words versus phrases
• 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-2017-031, CERN-TH-2016231, CERN-THESIS-2015-331, etc.
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.
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 > 2016-07 returns records with a date from August 2016
to present
• Find d < 1960 returns records with a date from 1959 and earlier
• > and < can only be used in SPIRES-style searches
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’
HEPNames record
You can also get to the author profile by
clicking on the author’s name in the brief
or detailed record of a paper.
Linked author profile

Unlinked HEPNames record
Finding an author profile
Unlinked author profile

Making edits to author profile
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).
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.
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
Linking a profile to a HEPNames record
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
Updating your CV in HEPNames
https://labs.inspirehep.net/authors/997876/update
Manage publications
Claim, reject, or assign single papers to another person
You can also manage multiple publications at once
Search for specific publications in a profile using the search box
Claiming papers to a profile
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’
Attribute a paper to an author profile
Search for the profile you want to attribute the paper to and click ‘Assign paper’
Manage profile
Combine multiple author profiles
• 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’.
Additions and Corrections to literature
http://inspirehep.net/help/
Suggest a paper missing from INSPIRE
https://labs.inspirehep.net
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’
Choose how the reference list should be corrected
Correct citations manually in the text boxes

Non-reference corrections

The future of INSPIRE
• Improved search engine to combine full text searching with
structured filters
• Updated submission/correction forms
• Consolidated HEPNames and author profiles
• Integration of HEPData to link datasets with papers
• New cataloger tools and updated workflows
• …and more
Stay tuned for new developments!
