Error Rates. Due to limitations in scanning technology and wide variation in journal typography and layout, each journal data set is constructed manually. The process involves data collection, data entry, and several data verification steps. Every effort has been made to assure the accuracy of the journal indexes and to this end, each index was prepared and proofread by disciplinary experts. Even so, some error is inevitable since the original publications from which the indexes were derived are themselves subject to not infrequent errors of construction (e.g., omitting author's names, incorrect identification of journal issues, etc.), typography, and proofreading. Nevertheless, the total rate of error within the database is believed to be small as the verification process is deliberate and thorough.

Special Symbols. The inability to reproduce non-English characters, phonetic symbols, and so on results occasionally in unavoidable minor differences between original sources and the journal data files. In each case, the common ASCII character most similar in appearance to the original character has been substituted or a description of the missing character is described (e.g., the text ``not equals" may appear instead of the not equals sign). Though not common, these problems occur with greater frequency in journals published outside the United States (e.g., European Journal of Communication, Asian Journal of Communication). In the case of accented letters, such as those occurring in French and Spanish, the unaccented letter has been substituted. Words originally appearing in italic or bold face in original sources are enclosed in single or double quotation marks.

Excluded Material. Although book reviews were included in some indexes that were created early in the indexing process, they were omitted in most indexes and, as a matter of policy, will not be included in any indexes in the future. Significant review essays, however, are included. The indexes are restricted to articles that reflect original research or theoretical exposition. Other examples of excluded materials include published bibliographies, software reviews, results of database searches, reports on conferences, summaries of legislative resolutions adopted by scholarly societies, and brief editorial statements introducing special issues of journals.

TIP: In title searches, search only for short word stems, followed by a wildcard character (asterisk, "*") -- "rhet*" rather than "rhetoric", "orga*" rather than "organization".

TIP: In author searches, search for last names only. Journals often list authors by first initial rather than first name. If the last name is common, search by last name, a comma, a space, and the first initial (followed by an asterisk wildcard). For example: smith, r*

TIP: Avoid "and" searches (e.g., searching for media and television) unless necessary because they are overly restrictive. You can easily omit references you don't need once you receive the search result.
