English abstract

This paper examines the tagging practices evident on CiteULike, a research oriented social bookmarking site for journal articles. Articles selected for this study were health information and medicine related. Tagging practices were examined using standard informetric measures for analysis of bibliographic information and analysis of term use. Additionally, tags were compared to descriptors assigned to the same article.

Item type: Conference paper
Keywords: tagging, citeulike, indexing, author keywords, tags, descriptors, subject analysis
Subjects: I. Information treatment for information services > ID. Knowledge representation.
