Indexing and the ‘organized’ researcher
Hope A. Olson, Lisa M. Given · The Indexer · 2003
This article proposes that indexing concepts relating to relevance, precision, recall, coextensiveness, exhaustivity, specificity and consistency offer a ready-made model that can be applied to the organization of research data. This knowledge organization model contributes significantly to the ability of researchers to collect and organize data in a manner most likely to shed light on the research problems they address.
