Methods and Techniques of Indexing and Abstracting

The sheer volume of rapidly disseminated information in the form of diverse and accessible information carriers in a variety of ways requires the application of principles and the use of organizational methods that respond to changes in the current information environment in order to facilitate information retrieval. Therefore, in this book, in order to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive source for professors, researchers, students, indexers, and librarians in the field of “indexing” and “abstract writing”, the topics of these two areas, which are the most important activities of organizing and representing Information should be analyzed and reviewed. To this end, after explaining the generalities related to indexing and abstracting, the impact of technology on indexing and related topics such as machine indexing, indexing software, web indexing, popular indexing, and new tools such as ontologies as well as abstract writing and various types of abstracts has been discussed.
