Social Indexing on HeinOnline, or "Tagging Goes Scholarly"

Jan Novak, Associate Director jan.novak@law.csuohio.edu | October 06, 2008 - 14:41

HeinOnline announces a new feature that helps researchers assess the relative importance or influence of law review articles. Results from a subject search in the database will display the number of times each article has been cited by other articles in HeinOnline. Once you‘ve selected what looks to be a leading article by the number of citations to it, you can search within those results for keywords or topics in common among the citing articles. View the screencast demonstrating the concept of social indexing for a sense of the power of this new tool.
