Conclusions
• Value add tools provided by commercial search
services (e.g. RANK) enable easy, relatively
inexpensive organization of data
• Readily available software (e.g. Microsoft Excel)
enables visualization and entry to analysis
• More sophisticated tools (e.g. Thomson Data
Analyzer) provide “ah-ha!!” moments
