Offers Increased Precision Searches of Federal Science Database
November 15, 2005 WASHINGTON, DC – The latest version of
Science.gov was launched today allowing more refined queries for
searches of federal science databases. While Science.gov 3.0 is
available to everyone, these improvements will be especially
helpful to scientists and information specialists in their
searches. “In these wonderful times for science, the tools by
which we share science information must be extraordinary,” said
Dr. Raymond Orbach, Director of DOE’s Office of Science.
“Science progresses when knowledge is shared and Science.gov 3.0
provides researchers with a tool to hone their queries,
resulting in more precise results.” Science.gov 3.0 introduces
“MetaRank” which uses a sophisticated method for ranking science
queries by searching “metadata,” or bibliographic information
such as title, author, date, abstract or other keyword
identifiers. This technology complements the relevancy ranking
capabilities of QuickRank, which was intro
