How to improve accuracy in your searches?
Try and provide as much information as possible when searching a title or ISSN number. The more detail you provide the faster & more accurate the results will be.
Post and pre publication reports can be scanned but should the document not be published yet, check spelling to improve accuracy levels. Fidelior does allow for variance in spelling (UK to US English for example) but correct spelling in general helps with faster results.
What do I do when I have not enough report tokens to scan a document?
You can top up your tokens via the Fidelior website or by contacting the Fidelior team.
