Search Publications can be accessed through the Search menu in the header. It is a page where users can search for publications using a combination of keywords (in the abstract or title), all or partial titles, authors, and other categories. Search results link to the publication detail pages that contain the abstract, citation, external link to the full article, and other details. The CottonGen houses information about publications on cotton genomics, genetics, and breeding research. Details about publications were imported to the CottonGen from NCBI PubMed and the USDA National Agricultural Library using the query: (abstract: trait OR QTL OR gene OR genome OR map OR microsatellite OR annotation OR EST OR marker OR sequence) AND (abstract: cotton). Additionally, details of publications from other journals not present in these databases are added.

The search results table has information about each publication (Fig. 20A). By clicking the publication title, more detailed information is displayed. Most publications also have a link to the publisher website or PubMed record in their titles (Fig. 20B).
