Uncontrolled Indexing - Example
Uncontrolled Indexing are keywords from the
• Title, Abstract
• Full text
• Indexer’s expertise
Uncontrolled Indexing - Benefits
Particularly useful:
• To exclude topics only mentioned (e.g. in the
introduction)
• To exclude topics mentioned in negative sense
• To search general but relevant topics (e.g. history,
education)
• To search topics that have both general and technical
meaning (e.g. impact, trees, GaP)
• To search words that are very common on the Inspec
Database (e.g. electr?, comput?, data, signal?)
