Abstract

The purpose of the present paper is to convey the importance of high quality information retrieval for maximizing progress in R&D, and to present generic protocols for constructing high quality literature queries. The paper begins with an example of the information retrieval limitations characteristic of present R&D practices, describes requirements for conducting high quality information retrieval, and presents a proposal for expanding dissemination and widening access to high quality information retrieval methods. Retrieval of medical R&D information was selected as an illustrative example.

The views presented in this paper are solely those of the author and do not represent the views of The Department of The Navy.
