Retrieval Performance in a Full Text Journal Article Database

Abstract

dc:description

It is often assumed that the availability of the full text of journal articles for online searching will make abstracting and indexing obsolete and that search results with full text will be superior to the results of bibliographic searching. This study tested these assumptions by comparing results from searching the full text of journal articles in the Harvard Business Review Online database on a commercial search system with the results from searching on the titles and the value-added fields of abstract and controlled vocabulary.
