<li>Christopher D. Manning and Hinrich Schütze describe a KWIC index and computer concordancing in section 1.4.5 of their book <i>Foundations of Statistical Natural Language Processing</i>. Cambridge, Mass: MIT Press, 1999. <a href="/facts/ISBN_(identifier)/15AdSPa9">ISBN</a> 9780262133609. They cite an article from H.P. Luhn from 1960, "Key word-in-context index for technical literature (kwic index)".</li>
<li>According to Rev. Gerard O'Connor's <i><a href="http://www.clerus.org/clerus/dati/2004-09/13-13/CIMR1.htm">Concordantia et Indices Missalium Romanorum</a></i>, "Most of the concordances produced in recent times and with the aid of computer software use both the KWIC (keyword in context) and KWICn (keyword in center) formats, which lists the keyword, usually highlighted in bold text in a consistent position, within a limited amount of context text, i.e. three [or] four words of the text prior to the keyword and the same amount of text following. This format is extremely useful in that the keyword is easily identified together with its context. ... The Concordance of the Roman Missal is produced in both the KWIC and KWICn formats and is noteworthy in that each word form is listed as it appears in the text, that is, it is <a href="/facts/Lemma_(morphology)/W4d8jVmI">un-lemmatized</a>."</li></ul>
