Creative Data Solutions (CDS) is a Vanderbilt Shared Resource and has extensive experience in providing effective and robust solutions to challenges pertaining to research data using modern informatics and bioinformatics approaches.
Since this approach involves a compound boolean operation, the
"builder" tools don't quite fit the bill. Instead, you can manually
create the query. Above the builder section, click on the Edit
link.
Within the text area (the box you can type into), type in (or
copy-paste the following):
(vanderbilt University[Affiliation])
AND ( magnuson ma[au] OR wright cv[au] OR lastname initials [au]
)
What does this mean? In short, this query will only return
publications with 1) any authors who have an affiliation of
Vanderbilt University (or its medical center) AND match by author
name. It can match zero or more authors in the list of
authors provided. Each author should be formatted as
lastname initials (sometimes, it is best to
exclude the middle initial, since some journals are not
good about including it)
Uppercase or lowercase? It doesn't matter.
The last author should not be followed by the
OR operator.
Click Search to execute the search. Assuming it works and
returns what you expect it to return, then go ahead and click on
Save Search.
Click on Save Search will take you to the NCBI login page - so
go ahead and login (or set up an account).
When you are logged in, MyNCBI will ask you to confirm saving
the query, which you do.
MyNCBI will then ask you if you would like email updates:
Click on Yes, then follow the instructions for the frequency and so
forth. Click on Save. You are done.
