Results Analysis

This function allows you to group and rank records in a results set by extracting data values from a variety of fields. Use this function to find the most prevalent authors in a particular field of study or generate a list of institutions ranked by record count based on your search query.

Ranking the Records

1. Click Analyze Results on any Results page to go to the Analyze Results page.

2. Select a field to analyze from the Rank the Records by this Field list.

3. Set the display option: Show the top 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, or 500 results.

   Example: If you select Author and top 10, the product searches for the top 10 authors based on the minimum record count.

4. Set the display option: Minimum record count (threshold). To be listed in the results table, a value must appear at least this number of times in the set.

   Example: If you select Author and set a threshold of 4, then an author's name is included in the results table if it appears in 4 or more records.

5. Select a sort option.

• Record count ranks the values from high to low, according to the number of records in which each value (minimum record count) appears.

• Selected field sorts the list in ascending alphabetical (A-Z) or numeric (0-9) order.

6. Click the Analyze button to produce a report showing the values in ranked order.
