The inconsistency of terminologies used in mathematics and technical subjects has been identified as one of the main sources that contribute to this problem.
Consequently, this study has identified challenges in the field, including the immense diversity and inconsistency of terminologies, limited documentation, sparse comparison and benchmarking criteria, and nonexistence of standardized query languages.
The inconsistency of the terminology used may be difficult for lay people to understand and thus may not be conducive to fully understanding the degree of protection VMMC provides against HIV.
Throughout the literature on transfer learning, there are a number of terminology inconsistencies.
These include differences in the reporting of recruitment, enrolment, and retention information; inconsistencies in the use of terminology across studies and the complexity of the literature which covers disparate samples of socio-demographic compositions, different diseases and study types.
However, this variety of terminology signals inconsistencies in what CHWs do, as well as how they are identified.
The problem lies in the existence of a number of overlapping approaches that nevertheless fail to meet the needs of policy-makers for an integrated methodology for assessment [ 10, 19, 60, 63] – a function in part of the differences in scientific perspective, inconsistencies in concept and somewhat lax use of terminology that have pervaded much of the research on assessment in the past.
Variability of measurement and use of terminology have contributed to heterogeneity and inconsistency in the reported results of prevalence and treatment outcomes.
Once this is done, any terminology inconsistency between fields and subfields can be addressed, and any collision of terminology de-collided or disambiguated.
Of the four search concepts, validity showed the greatest inconsistency in terminology among authors, indexers and investigators.
