|
The study had three investigative areas: an examination of current database producers' guidelines for their abstract writers, a brief survey of abstracts in some traditional online databases, and a detailed survey of abstracts from three types of electronic database (printsourced online databases, Internet subject trees or directories, and Internet gateways). The database producers, traditional online databases, and Internet databases were identified as representative of electronic information sources relevant to the higher education community in Britain, and were selected on the basis of both technical criteria and availability. Abstracts were investigated to secure quantitative determinations of their properties in two broad areas. Their content was examined to ascertain the abstracts' coverage of source document concepts, to quantify their depiction of source document elements such as bibliographies, figures and tables, and to see if they acknowledged any geographical constraints of source documents affecting their value for users. To assess their physical and readability properties, abstracts were subjected to readability testing software that measured primary characteristics such as total length, sentence length and word length, and applied several standard readability tests.

Guidelines for ensuring and maximizing the quality, objetivity and utility and integrity of disseminated information |
|
PDF |
|
These guidelines implement Section 515 of Public Law 106-554 which directs the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to issue guidelines that provide policy and procedural guidance to Federal agencies for ensuring and maximizing the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of information (including statistical information) disseminated by Federal agencies. Further, Section 515 requires that, within one year after OMB issues its guidelines, agencies must issue their own guidelines that include administrative mechanisms allowing affected persons to seek and obtain correction of information maintained and disseminated by the agency that does not comply with OMB´s guidelines. These guidelines are in compliance with Department of Commerce (DOC) and OMB Information Quality Guidelines and may be revised periodically, based on experience, evolving requirements in DOC, ESA and concerns expressed by the public (AU) |
