Applications Of Informetrics To Information Retrieval Research
نویسنده
چکیده
A non-technical overview of two primary areas of study within the discipline of information science, information retrieval (IR) and informetrics, is presented. Informetric properties of IR systems as the basis for understanding IR system structure and generalizing human information seeking in electronic environments are discussed. Applications of informetric study of IR systems for more efficient and effective design and evaluation of IR systems are also presented.

متن کاملDuality in information retrieval and the hypergeometric distribution
Duality is an important topic in informetrics, especially in connection with the classical informetric laws. Yet, this concept is less studied in information retrieval. It deals with the unification or symmetry between queries and documents, retrieval versus indexing, and relevant versus retrieved documents. These ideas are elaborated in this note and the connection with the hypergeometric dist...
متن کاملTopics in dynamic research communities: An exploratory study for the field of information retrieval
Research topics and research communities are not disconnected from each other: communities and topics are interwoven and co-evolving. Yet, scientometric evaluations of topics and communities have been conducted independently and synchronically, with researchers often relying on homogeneous unit of analysis, such as authors, journals, institutions, or topics. Therefore, new methods are warranted...
