How it works to search by author name?

Enter the author’s last name plus initials without punctuation in the Search Box and click Search or Enter

For instance, if you are search publications by Lynen Lutgarde, you will insert "Lynen l" (only initials and capital letters are not needed: this is called the "Smith jc" format).

  
Note that the Search Box will always be available to you on any page in PubMed: on the Home page, on a results screen, on the Clipboard, or on any other page!
