there is heavy usage of Internet-based information resource platformsdue to the COVID-19 pandemic. If it can present the search results as a list of groupsof related terms and context, that would be ideal. An additional enhancement would be to display information in the search results in a classified manner. Therefore, the research is proposing an effective and efficient information retrieval system. The methodology adopted follows the conventional Information Retrieval (IR) system design except that Cosine similarity and hierarchical clustering were introduced for search result ranking. The Average Precision of the proposed system was compared with that of flat clustering such as K-means. The result of the evaluation shows that hierarchical clustering improved in precision, being10% better than flat clustering result retrieval result. This led to greater usability, userexperience,and efficiency of the system.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
