How to Search and FIND – Deep Indexing of Figures and Tables
Autor: Helle Lauridsen, ProQuest CSA, United Kingdom
Fulltext
Abstract:
A full-text search will retrieve records based on text in the captions of figures and tables, but not text which is part of a figure or table image (i.e. tables not constructed with HTML tagging). More importantly, full-text searches cannot be limited to figure or table captions (i.e. cannot be used to create targeted searches). As a result, a full-text search for "oxygen uptake" will identify a huge number of irrelevant, or at least general, articles because the search is looking at words anywhere in the full text, even the cited references. If you want to ensure that the research reflected in a publication actually focussed on "oxygen uptake", a full-text search would be of minimal value. Moreover, if "oxygen uptake" was only displayed within a figure within an axis caption, the full-text search would miss those articles, which by definition, are exactly the articles you need.
