Philip Hallinger – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2023
Bibliometric reviews of research have gained increased popularity since the mid-2010s. Yet, many readers may be uncertain as to the purpose and method of bibliometric reviews. This article provides an introduction to bibliometric reviews, clarifies their purpose, and elaborates on methods of data collection, analysis, and interpretation. The…

Villanueva Manjarres, Andrés; Moreno Sandoval, Luis Gabriel; Salinas Suárez, Martha Janneth – Digital Education Review, 2018
Educational Data Mining is an emerging discipline which seeks to develop methods to explore large amounts of data from educational settings, in order to understand students' behavior, interests and results in a better way. In recent years there have been various works related to this specialty and multiple data mining techniques derived from this…

Antonenko, Pavlo D.; Toy, Serkan; Niederhauser, Dale S. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2012
Cluster analysis is a group of statistical methods that has great potential for analyzing the vast amounts of web server-log data to understand student learning from hyperlinked information resources. In this methodological paper we provide an introduction to cluster analysis for educational technology researchers and illustrate its use through…

Bertot, John Carlo; McClure, Charles R.; Moen, William E.; Rubin, Jeffrey – Government Information Quarterly, 1997
One means of Web use evaluation is through analysis of server-generated log files. Various log file analysis techniques and issues are presented that are related to the interpretation of log file data. Study findings indicate a number of problems; recommendations and areas needing further research are outlined. (AEF)

Gillaspie, Deborah L. – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1995
This progress report presents findings from a failure analysis of two full-text computer-assisted legal research systems, Lexis and Westlaw. Linguistic analyses of unretrieved documents and false drops are discussed, and examples of natural language phenomena that affect Boolean retrieval system performance are examined. (Author/LRW)
Descriptors: Full Text Databases, Information Retrieval, Performance Factors, Problems
Froehlich, Thomas J. – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1991
Discusses the history of information science and its understanding of and approach to relevance; explains human categorization theory and applies it to the idea of relevance; shows that information science research is flawed because it fails to adequately explain experience; and suggests implications for future research. (17 references) (LRW)

Rossman, Parker – Futurist, 1982
Discusses the evolution of the Great Comprehensive Electronic Encyclopedia (GCEE) which would contain everything known to humanity and its potential impact on research and education. The question of who should control access to GCEE and indexing, validation, and selection procedures for materials in its data banks are considered. (AM)

Horn, Robert E. – Performance and Instruction, 1992
Describes research and evaluation on the Information Mapping method of structured analysis and writing of training and reference documents to illustrate how a flaw in research design can cause "little or no effect" results. Information retrieval experiments, learning experiments, and field tests are examined for problems, including size…

Callison, Daniel – School Library Media Activities Monthly, 1999
Focuses on synthesis in research--the combination of thesis and antithesis in the dialectical process, producing a new and higher form of being. Discusses kinds of synthesis (unique communication, plan of operation, abstract relations); synthesizing information pieces; summary practice leading to synthesis; and questions of analysis and synthesis.…

Freeman, Carla; And Others – 1984
In order to understand how the database software or online database functioned in the overall curricula, the use of database management (DBMs) systems was studied at eight elementary and middle schools through classroom observation and interviews with teachers and administrators, librarians, and students. Three overall areas were addressed:…

Revere, Debra; Fuller, Sherrilynne S.; Bugni, Paul F.; Martin, George M. – Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, 2003
The Telemakus System builds on the areas of concept representation, schema theory, and information visualization to enhance knowledge discovery from scientific literature. This article describes the underlying theories and an overview of a working implementation designed to enhance the knowledge discovery process through retrieval, visual and…

Willey, Susan – Journalism and Mass Communication Educator, 2000
Raises questions about the validity and reliability of doing research online via the proliferation of academic databases. Finds different versions of the Lexis-Nexis database have differing search capabilities. Argues that dependence on database research findings means dependence on decisions made by a few people who design search engines and…

Spink, Amanda; Wilson, T. D.; Ford, Nigel; Foster, Allen; Ellis, David – Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 2002
Presents the theoretical framework and research design of a project based on longitudinal data collected in the United Sates and the United Kingdom that investigated the processes of mediated information retrieval searching during human information-seeking processes. Topics include problem-solving; uncertainty; cognitive styles; and…

Hamilton, John – Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 2005
The concept of a hierarchy of evidence is useful in rapid electronic searching to answer questions arising during the natural course of clinical practice. The answerable question often begins "What is the evidence that ..." and, when focused on a treatment, usually includes a population, an intervention, a comparison group, and an outcome, often…

Smiraglia, Richard P. – Proceedings of the ASIS Mid-Year Meeting, 1994
Reports on a project to provide contextual information about the derivative bibliographic relationship by studying a sample of works from a research library catalog. The research design, the proportion of works that were part of bibliographic families, the constitution of bibliographic families, and directions for further research are presented.…
