Search

- advanced searching by narrowing down the search options.
Types of indices

• Keywords – the most widely used method of subject searching; each record contains few keywords describing the publication; after entering the beginning of a term system automatically suggests keywords with that letters used in the database; if the database does not propose any hits it means that such string of characters does not appear anywhere in the kewords index
• Term - you can enter any term (or its part) and the system will search all the fields of records; this type of search turns up a long list of search results; however, this method is useful when you can't find the subject in the Keyword Index
• Title – used for searching the records by the work full title or its part
• Author – used for searching the works of chosen authors by using their surnames
• Source – used for searching journals titles or scientific papers series
• Country – used for searching articles on chosen country or region (also Polish voivodeships); all articles are assumed to describe the situation in Poland, therefore other countries appear in the index only if they are explicitly mentioned in the article; Poland is used in this index if an article analyzes situation in Poland along with other countries
• Company – used for searching information about the companies, enterprises and organizations
• Language – contains the information about the language of the article
• Year – used for searching the publication from the set year/period or for narrowing search results
• Bibliography – used for searching literature on the given subject; if the chosen term was cited, it will be highlighted in the Bibliography field of the record
• Accessibility - you can narrow the search to a specific library which is part of the BazEkon Consortium

Search examples

If you look for information about the economic growth, you should choose keyword index and fill in the term or (sometimes better) only its part. You are immediately shown those keywords which contain the string of characters you used.
If you want to narrow the search or there are too many search results, you can choose additional index or term, for example the year of publication (or few years if you aim for a larger publication scope).
To display the full bibliographic record you need to click on the title of an article.
In addition to basic information you can find on the above screen, such as author/title/source, you can also find:

• keywords
• abstract
• bibliography - literature used by the author to write the publication - if applicable
• link to full-text - if applicable
• information whether the publication is peer reviewed (from 2014) - if applicable
• information which institution is the creator of this record (upper-left corner logo)

Cited by

This function allows to search if this article was cited in any other articles of papers recorded in BazEkon. As a result of this search you will be given a list of links to those articles. The program works only on indexed references (processed and checked by the librarians). If the message "There are no citations of this item in BazEkon database" is shown, it may mean that no one has quoted this publication in resources available in BazEkon or that the citations for this work have not been processed yet.
