Search options available in STN databases - FIZ Karlsruhe

26.6 Using STN Express
STN Express has two tools for analyses (from version 7.0):
ANALYZE:
Types of search
To analyse one or two fields from an answer set
To create diagrams
ANALYZE PLUS:
To analyse one or two fields from an answer set
To group/edit the lists and save the results
To create diagrams and an interactive Excel matrix; displaying STN documents is possible
To save tabular data (.TBN) for off-line or on-line processing in order to create new diagrams (from
version 8.0)
An example using ANALYZE PLUS is shown here:
=> FIL WPINDEX
=> S B60R0021-01+NT/IPC AND PRYF>=1998
L1 4383 B60R0021-01+NT/IPC AND PRYF>=1998
Click on the L number (L1) to produce a menu where ANALYZE PLUS is selected. (There is also an option in the
menu to save the search result for processing with the STN Anavist software: Save for STN Anavist.)
This calls the Analyze Plus Wizard (STN Express 8.0):
Here you can choose between
One field analysis
Two field analysis
For our example choose Two field analysis (a One field analysis example see the ). Further
the fields to be analysed are selected. Some of these are shown in the window; if the desired field is not shown here
it can be added by clicking Options.
Group similar terms should always be activated when the Patent Assignee is analysed; this will automatically group
similar Patent Assignee names.
