    Passage retrieval, a method for finding specific information, shows strong performance for scientists. This study confirms its effectiveness and economic viability compared to traditional reference retrieval.

    Area of Science:

    • Information Science
    • Computer Science
    • Library Science

    Background:

    • Passage retrieval offers advantages over reference retrieval in output format and economic feasibility.
    • Prior studies indicated comparable or superior performance of passage retrieval for scientists versus existing reference retrieval services.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate passage retrieval with a wider range of question types.
    • To assess retrieval performance when search terms are selected independently by multiple individuals.

    Main Methods:

    • Conducted an experiment using passage retrieval with diverse question formats.
    • Employed two independent selectors for choosing search words for each retrieval question.
    • Utilized specific computer procedures for passage retrieval.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved average recall ratios of 72% and 67% for the two independent search word selectors.
    • Reported false retrieval rates of 13 and 10 falsely retrieved sentences per retrieved answer-paper, with one exception.

    Conclusions:

    • Passage retrieval demonstrates high recall and low false retrieval rates for scientific information.
    • The method is effective and economically feasible for scientific research, outperforming traditional services.
