Constructing a Theology Collection

Can someone tell me how to construct a theology collection that contains titles with the name "theology" and "doctrine" and "evangelical review of theology" in it? I apparently do not understand the commands AND and OR because

theology OR, doctrine, OR evangelical review - gets me less and less resources...

Here is my collection and settings. Let me know if you need more explanation. I've included the hits so you can see the kind of things it returns.

John,

Did you type title:theology

I get most of what you mentioned above, but not sure if this covered everything. Is there something more specific you are looking for?

For just these three you would want title:theology OR title:doctrine OR title:evangelical review. I think the commas are throwing you off.

Phil,

Thanks for the reply and specific example. Though I am not a stranger to "booleen" types of searches and functions, I did not realize how important they are in 4.0.

Yes, otherwise it's going to be unpredictable.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

One thing to keep in mind with my example is that once the meta data is cleared up the Theological journal will probably get tagged as a journal which would remove it. Also somewhere else I've heard that there is a type "magazine". I do not have any of these resources, though.

I will have to check the Magazine format since I have the BAR collection which I highly recommend. A great list of resources for doing papers.

Thanks, Philip, for the screen shot. I realized that I did not have 3 of the books that should be included!

Also, the Archaeology Odyssey and the Biblical Archaeologist are in the Magazine format.

My guess is that with the corrections to the Metadata these things will be standardized, even though there is a difference between a magazine and a journal, I suppose. I'm holding out for the Metadata touch ups before going hog wild with collections.

There is indeed a type:magazine

It includes things like Biblical Archaeology Review

J.R. Miller

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/29754#Comment_29754

It also includes "Discipleship Journal" Logos did say though this is correct. Even though Journal is in the title, it is a magazine. Who knew?

I think this is a good working definition (from a library website: http://www2.gcsu.edu/library/reference/m&jdiff.html )

"Journal articles are written by experts in the field, and indicate the
authors and their affiliations. Articles are usually reviewed and
critically evaluated by a board of experts in the field (refereed).
On the other hand, some magazine articles are not signed and are not
evaluated by experts in the field, but by editors or staff ."
