Field Codes

You can use field codes to create a search using indexed fields referenced in either the citation or full display (or full text, if available). EBSCOhost uses two-character abbreviations for field codes such as SU-Subject, AU-Author or TI- Article_Title.

Field codes are database specific. For more information on which searchable fields are available for a database, on the Choose Database Screen, click the More Information link for the database.

To create a search using a field code:

1. At the Search Screen, type one of the two-letter codes before your search terms in the text entry field. For example, to search for articles that include the subject sports injuries and the term hockey, type: SU Sports Injuries and Hockey.

2. Click Search. The Result List appears.
