摘要
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to discuss dubious hit counts in search results. Design/methodology/approach - Uses not only traditional databases and search engines but also unique citation databases to gain informative hit figures. Findings - Searches are finding materials that are clearly not scholarly materials. Originality/value - Shows the importance of a more defined search, thus less distortion of counts.
