Title

¬The use of topic sentences for evaluating the representativeness of Arabic article titles

Source

Journal of information science. 19(1993) no.6, S.455-465

Year

Abstract

Addresses the question whether titles of Arabic periodical articles can be used for keyword indexing techniques and for the production of Arabic title derivative printed indexes. It examines and evaluates the representativeness of Arabic article titles in five different disciplines by comparing the substantive words found in titles to the content of their accompanying topic sentences in the introduction or objectives parts of articles. Although significant difference are found between title in library and information science title in philosophy, Arabic titles appear to provide good representations of their articles. Between 70% and 88% of the substantive words in titles matched substantive words in the corresponding topic sentences
