Do not use the following here: dr., jr., sr.!
Author and Further author fields: only one name should be written into the query line starting with the surname (family name). In Hungarian, family names precede the first name(s). It is not necessary to type the whole name, truncation is automatic, e.g. the "Con" query term will find all authors whose name starts with "Con". You are advised to enter the given name as well if the author has a very common surname (e.g. Smith), or if you do not want to have a "noisy" hit set. You can also use masking.
Examples for author names: Smith, M., Smith, Janna Malamud, Mac%, Ray%
Query term: Smith, J
Result: Smith, Janna Malamud, Smith, Jennifer S., Smith, John Maynard

Truncation and masking
Various forms of a word or term with different endings may be suitable for the search (e.g. communicable, communication, etc.). In this case the ending may be substituted by the symbols % or * after the first characters (e.g. communi% or communi*).

Masking is used if we wanted to substitute a character, e.g. because it may occur with different spelling (e.g. in the case of foreign terms), or we would like to search for two different words (e.g. makro, mikro). In the MATARKA database you may substitute one or more characters (e.g. if you search for deve*pment you will retrieve hits with: development, developmental, etc.).
