Question: How can I find an article when I only know the authors and year it was published?
An article by Jones and Roszelle (1978) was mentioned in an Energy Resources Engineering assignment. A student in the course wanted to find said article.
There are many ways to answer such a question. In this case, we did an advanced search in GeoRef using the GeoScienceWorld interface,* and found the record below:
Title Graphical techniques for determining relative permeability from displacement experiments
Author(s) S. C. Jones and W. O. Roszelle
Affiliation Marathon Oil Co., United States;
Serial Title JPT. Journal of Petroleum Technology
Source 30(5) pp.807-817 (May 1978)
Publisher American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers, Dallas, TX
Language English
Publication Year 1978
We then checked the call number of JPT in Socrates. The assignment was due soon and the volume was not in the stacks, but we were able to find it on the reshelving truck.
*We also have access to GeoRef via CSA. Take your pick.
