The present study has two main objectives. The first objective is to devise a new term weighting technique which can be used to weight the significance value of each word stem in a test collection of documents on the subject of "enteral hyperalimentation." The next objective is to evaluate retrieval performance of proposed term weighting technique, together with four other term weighting techniques, by conducting a set of experiments. The experimental results have shown that the performance of Sparck Jones's inverse document frequency weighting and the proposed term significance weighting techniques produced better recall and precision ratios than the other three complex weighting techniques.
