Deep Indexing of Journal Articles as a Significant Enhancement in Scholarly Communications

Home / Project Briefing Pages / CNI Fall 2006 Project Briefings / Deep Indexing of Journal Articles as a Significant Enhancement in Scholarly Communications

December 16, 2006

Matthew Dunie
President
CSA

CSA, formerly Cambridge Scientific Abstracts, has embarked on an effort to materially enhance the precision and relevancy of accessing scholarly e-journals. The initiative called “Deep Indexing” involves the extraction, indexing, and the databasing of objects (tables, charts, figures and maps) contained within scholarly articles.

Dr. Carol Tenopir, of the University of Tennessee, recently published a white paper on the concept of “Deep Indexing.” The paper describes a research project (sponsored by CSA) undertaken with 52 faculty/researchers from nine institutions who were asked to perform actual searches against a test bed OBJECTS database. The results of this research and its implications for the search and discovery process, secondary publishing and the library community will be presented.
