Publications
Our publication activity is aimed at the compilation of quality-assured international scientific publications (peer reviews) on the one hand and at publication in German-language media for use in practice on the other hand.
Moreover, we collaborate in the preparation of standards and rules at the national and international levels.
Search options
Minimum length and umlauts
The minimum length for the search text is 4 characters.
When searching for words containing umlauts, it does not matter whether you use the umlaut character or the character in your search term (ä → a, ö → o, etc.).
Example: Searching for “water quality” or “water good” will return the same results.
Searching for exact phrases
If you want to search for an exact phrase, please enclose it in quotation marks (“”).
Example: “Water and health”
→ Only results that contain this exact phrase will be displayed.
Include or exclude words – links
You can specify which words must be included or excluded using the plus and minus signs:
+ (plus sign) → The word must be included in the result.
- (minus sign) → The word must not be included.
Example:
“Water and health” +Danube
→ Results must contain “water and health” and “Danube.”
“Water and health” -Danube
→ Results contain “water and health” but not the word “Danube.”
Partial word search – word beginnings
Partial word search is enabled by default. This means that ke_search also finds words that begin with your search term.
Example:
Micro*
→ Finds, among other things:
“Microbial”
“Microplastic” (society)
