Note: You can search for a magazine using the full title (for example, "The Economist") or omit the initial word and just search for "Economist."

Note: Sometimes the magazine you need is not the first search result. In our example, "The Economist" is the second result. You can always verify that it is the magazine you want by looking for the magazine ISSN.
