Brown, Lauren E.; Dubois, Alain; Shepard, Donald B. – Bulletin of Science, Technology & Society, 2008
Retrieval efficiencies of paper-based references in journals and other serials containing 10 scientific names of fossil amphibians were determined for seven major search engines. Retrievals were compared to the number of references obtained covering the period 1895-2006 by a Comprehensive Search. The latter was primarily a traditional…
