A second step might include following each of the top XX hits and examine the resulting documents for presence of the identifier.","image":"","tags":"","type":"yesnobut","license":"","rationale":"Why should we measure it? \r\nMost people use a search engine to initiate a search for a particular digital resource of interest. If the resource or its metadata are not indexed by web search engines, then this would substantially diminish an individual’s ability to find and reuse it. Thus, the ability to discover the resource should be tested using i) its identifier, ii) other text-based metadata.","principle":"F","fairmetrics":"F4 - (meta)data are registered or indexed in a searchable resource","authors":[1271]}
