Abstract

The researchers of Humanities use a method in reviewing the background of research subjects and exploring new relations between previous projects, named Ultra–Analysis method. Glass (1976) was the first scientist who used Ultra–Analysis, meaning statistical analysis of the search results in order to combine the results.
Ultra–Analysis is now a common method and is increasingly used in Humanities. Since the number of researches in Humanities is considerable, an Ultra–Analysis method for using the results in a functional and exact way seems crucial. The paper tries to elaborate the definition, usage, steps of an Ultra–Analysis method and the concept of impression degree, the Ultra– Analysis main approaches, the way to compile an Ultra–Analysis report and its evaluation.
