Ding, Shuai – ProQuest LLC, 2013
The inverted index is the main data structure used by all the major search engines. Search engines build an inverted index on their collection to speed up query processing. As the size of the web grows, the length of the inverted list structures, which can easily grow to hundreds of MBs or even GBs for common terms (roughly linear in the size of…

Hart, Jeni; Metcalfe, Amy Scott – Journal of Higher Education, 2010
We examined the post-publication period of six feminist articles (Hart, 2006) using citation indexing. From our findings, we argue that both indexes are embedded within an enduring system of academic patriarchy and neither index truly measures impact of scholarly work. Implications of current impact measures for promotion, tenure, and merit are…

Petrarca, Anthony E.; And Others – Journal of Chemical Documentation, 1971
It is shown that this new automatic indexing technique can be applied with the same effectiveness shown earlier for indexes derived from words in titles or title-like phrases; the basic difference being that linear notation symbols rather than words are used as the indexing units.

ADAMS, WILLIAM MANSFIELD – 1965
SOME MACHINE-PRODUCED INDEXES ARE COMPARED TO ASSIST IN DECIDING ON THE FORMAT FOR A PROPOSED INDEX. THE OBJECTIVES OF AN INDEX AND THE SEARCH PROCEDURE ARE ANALYZED, AND AN EXPLANATION AND A RELATIONSHIP IS GIVEN FOR KEY-WORDS-IN-TITLE AND KEY-REFERENCES OF THE SAME ARTICLE. BASED ON THE COMPARISON OF THE INDEXES, A 53- YEAR CUMULATIVE INDEX WAS…

Yerkey, A. Neil – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1973
The retrieval effectiveness of Keywork-In-Context (KWIC) indexing is sought using a simple search simulation which constrains the user to approach a KWIC index with subject keywords and references dictated by a conventional index. A comparison of several KWIC index studies, using various methodologies, shows retrievability ratios of 35 percent -…
