EBSCO worked closely with MetaMetrics to fine-tune the pre-processor to assure that the most appropriate information in an article is selected for analysis.
Content that has been identified by the pre-processor is sent through the Lexile Analyzer to generate a Lexile measure. The MetaMetrics Lexile Analyzer uses a proprietary algorithm to determine the Lexile measure of the prose within an article. Testing showed that these additional rules removed the most problematic articles from Lexile measurement, increasing the overall accuracy and reliability of measures throughout EBSCO products.
The nature of periodical and reference content poses interesting challenges in applying accurate Lexile measures in a mass-production environment. What does this means to the educator and parent?
