Peer reviewedAl-Kharashi, Ibrahim A.; Evens, Martha W. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1994
Describes experiments in Arabic information retrieval using 29 queries against a base of 355 bibliographic records. Using roots and stems as index terms worked better than words, and the root performed as well as or better than the stem at low recall levels and definitely better at high recall levels.
