In this research project, automatic indexing criteria that have been used most frequently since the 1950s have been identified. The work was divided into two main stages: (1) identification of the automatic indexing criteria found in the literature and, (2) a proposal for a set of ideal criteria for the automatic indexing process.enAutomatic indexingmanual indexinginformation representationcriteria for automatic indexingArticle
