Re: [Treebase-devel] phyloWS searches

[William P. <wil...@ya...>]

TreeBASE's time-zone is in EST, so finding all TreeBASE citations published in 2010 or later means searching prism.publicationDate for any time point between 2010-01-01T05:00:00Z and 2011-01-01T04:59:59Z.

So in theory, the following should find anything published in 2011 or later in the journal Evolution:

http://purl.org/phylo/treebase/phylows/study/find?query=prism.publicationName=="Evolution"+and+prism.publicationDate>"2011-08-30T05:00:00Z"

... but evidently the "and" bit is broken, so it appears to be ignoring the date... shucks. 

Sorry...
