it doesn't need quotes unless you want to delimit internet research to just that specific phrasing :) as I note at the end, you can contrive any result you wish, if you know what you are doing. On Mar 4, 2005, at 3:34 PM, Lauren Squires wrote:
Hey now, it seems you didn't utilize the phrase operator "__ __" in those Googlefights, thereby biasing the results toward anything w/ "internet" in the search terms...Let's be fair: qua phrase, "internet research" loses miserably (sorry!) to sociology, psychology, "computer science", and linguistics...also "internet research" loses by a hair to "communucation studies." Just sayin'...

perhaps to sort of add to the google hits discussion, I bring you googlefight, and I've prearranged a little contest between internet research and internet studies
http://www.googlefight.com/index.php? lang=en_GB&word1=internet+research&word2=internet+studies
and one between internet research and sociology: http://www.googlefight.com/index.php? lang=en_GB&word1=internet+research&word2=sociology
and one between internet research and communication research: http://www.googlefight.com/index.php? lang=en_GB&word1=internet+research&word2=communication+research
we beat them all hands down.... granted of course.... mostly you can orchestrate just about any result....
