INDEXING – A BIRDS EYE VIEW

Abstract

Indexing is a quality determining factor. The concept is almost similar to registering, recording, etc. Indexing in a general context is a process to create indexes for record collection, which allows the researchers to search for the records of specific individuals. The main purpose of indexing is discovering the truth by building on previous discoveries, which enables the growth of faster learning, acknowledgement, interconnections and reputations of people involved in this. This article tries to create an understanding about indexing, its history, the types of indexing, the parameters involved and also discusses about the peer review method.
