I keep seeing sources (mostly technical/scientific papers, sometimes books) cited using only the author(s)' name(s) and the year of publication. Anyone know how I can track them down when Google doesn't bring it up?

Well if the work is Published the Authors name should bring it up, unless the book or article or author have nothing on the internet. And yes try another search engine.

Yea, this is an issue for me too sometimes. I usually track down the author and get a copy direct from the source.
so your trying to track a work by author and year of publish?I keep seeing sources (mostly technical/scientific papers, sometimes books) cited using only the author(s)' name(s) and the year of publication. Anyone know how I can track them down when Google doesn't bring it up?

Kinda hard when you only have a name like Johnson or somethin', though![]()

i would think Amazon might have it listed if it was published

I don't know what the work is.
EG: It has been observed that x (Skinner, 1987b)..
How the fuck am I supposed to track something down with that? It's a giant migraine, I tell you. No first name, no title of the paper, no journal name... just a last name, a year, and sometimes a letter. 'Smith 2007a' tells me NOTHING![]()
Does Amazon list 30-year old technical papers? (One text I was reading referenced several studies published in the 80s which set the stage for later research)so your trying to track a work by author and year of publish?Yea, this is an issue for me too sometimes.

definitely a journal contribution. footnotes should expand on which journal i would think. if not, it is probably in the same one which the current article is in. ie if your ref to skinner is in the biochem journal and they dont specify journal of biology, then it is probably in the biochem journal.
this sounds like references to a contributor in a scientific journal. in that event you could go to the journal's website.
'Skinner, 1972s' or 'Johnson, 2005' doesn't tell me what journal it was...
I'm amused. That was a an example off the top of my head, but following it lead to three different papers that just got added to my reading list![]()
