MOST CITED
Note #1: By default Westlaw ranks results
'Newest' to 'Oldest.' TheLaw.net, which by default, ranks
results based on 'Relevance' has been critical of Westlaw's
default ranking. Like TheLaw.net and in contrast to Westlaw, WestlawNext ranks results by 'Relevance.'
Note #2: On May 1, 2008, TheLaw.net released a
free upgrade allowing users to sort
results by 'Most Cited' in the database. Thomson Reuter's now
includes a similar feature in the paid
upgrade from Westlaw to WestlawNext.
Note #3: Upon selecting 'Most Cited'
WestlawNext re-sorts our results by citation frequency. However,
something is wrong. WestlawNext re-sorts our results with only
10% accuracy. The rank WestlawNext assigns to each citation is
included to the left of each citation. The correct rank appears
in the 'Corrected Column' together with a citation count. The
correct rankings were obtained by turning each citation into a
Boolean phrase - which is a fancy way of saying we put the book
and page citation in quotation marks, selected Westlaw's
ALLCASES Database, clicked Search, noting
the hit count each citation receives.
Note #4: Unlike WestlawNext, TheLaw.net sorts
'Most Cited' with 100% accuracy. Also unlike WestlawNext,
TheLaw.net allows you to view Most Cited and Most Relevant on
the same screen, which makes it simple to select the
opinions from your result set that cite your case most often for
your point of law.
Note #5: This study also demonstrates what
TheLaw.net Corporation has been saying for years: If you rely on
West Statutes Annotated as your ''go to' tool for
finding the most relevant cases construing the statute
that is driving your search, we've concluded you will
miss relevant
law. |
