Q: How do you all deal with the phenomenon that occurs when new buzz words come out AFTER you've published your research - making your #tags, keywords, etc. almost obsolete dialect when folks type the newer buzzwords/keywords into modern search engines? Is this something that needs "gardening" (i.e. periodically updating keywords pertaining to your research, even though those keywords don't actually appear anywhere in your research)?
Tricky! It certainly does happen. The obverse also occurs. Researchers tart up outdated research before publication by including the latest buzz words even where these aren't really germane. I'm a bit of a heretic on the issue because in my field, arts and culture, some of the best work might be old and outdated even though the issues addressed are not. I'd rather model my research on that than on half-baked offerings laced with buzz words.
