 Open Relevancy Ranking

13 | discovery.ebsco.com/corporate
 Relevance Ranking:
Quality & Openness
The system has the following priorities and has
no bias toward content from any provider:
1. Match on subject headings
from controlled vocabularies
2. Match on article titles
3. Match on author keywords
4. Match on keywords within abstracts
5. Match on keywords within full text

Exact Matches: Exact matches are favored over partial Density: Matches across multiple metadata fields are favored
matches considering also the field in which those words for relevance scoring (more is better). The scoring influence of
appear (abstract vs. full text vs. title, etc.) repeat terms within individual metadata fields is minimized.

RECENCY

Recently published content is

scored higher for relevance

 Value Ranking
Specific content attributes of matching records contribute to
relevance scoring.
Publication date:
Publication date EDS prioritizes ranking of
newly published content
Publication type over older content.
Peer reviewed or not
Document length

More attributes than these are used for value ranking.

New options evaluated on an ongoing basis.
