Analytical methods for online searching

Abstract

Analytical methods are presented to facilitate the comparison of multiple sets during an online search. The basic concept is the utilization of discrete displays of unique citations from successive formulations. The discrete displays are formulated by using Boolean NOT to remove citations from previously designated good sets. The method is explained, demonstrated, and applied in the context of a procedure for ranging groups of citations based on relevancy.
