Find Physicists' Published Papers: Max Planck, Ludwig Boltzmann

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on finding comprehensive lists of published papers by physicists Max Planck and Ludwig Boltzmann. Users suggest utilizing resources such as netlib.org/bibnet for bibliographic information, although it is limited in scope. The discussion highlights the availability of the Annalen der Physik archive on gallica.bnf.fr, noting the challenges of slow and non-automatable downloads. Additionally, the conversation mentions the potential of using alternative search engines like Cuil for broader searches.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with bibliographic databases such as netlib.org/bibnet
  • Understanding of academic publishing and physicists' contributions
  • Knowledge of the Annalen der Physik journal and its significance
  • Experience with online archival resources like gallica.bnf.fr
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore advanced search techniques on netlib.org/bibnet for physicist publications
  • Investigate the Annalen der Physik archive on gallica.bnf.fr for specific papers
  • Research alternative academic search engines like Cuil for broader results
  • Examine the "primary sources" section on the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy for Boltzmann's works
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, historians of science, and students of physics seeking to compile comprehensive bibliographies of influential physicists' works.

Does anyone have any suggestions for finding lists of all papers published by individual physicists?

Usually the Google machine turns up hits pretty quickly, but I've hit a brick wall looking for lists for Max Planck and Ludwig Boltzmann.

netlib.org/bibnet/ is amazing, but it's pretty narrow.

The Wiki biographies didn't list them?

Planck's only lists ten papers; Boltzmann's had none -- though, the link to his article on plato.stanford *does* have a nice-sized "primary sources" section; it doesn't look comprehensive, but it's a good start; maybe I'll plug a few more names into Plato and see if the pattern continues.

The reason I'm asking is, I just discovered that much of the Annalen der Physik archive is available on gallica.bnf.fr...but the downloads are *slow* and non-automatable, so I'm trying to cherry-pick the most relevant.
 
Have you tried other , "memory-less" search engines like Cuil?
