摘要：Information Retrieval (IR) is an emerging subfield of information science concerning representation, storage; access and retrieval of information .Current research areas within the field of IR include searching and querying, ranking of search results, navigating and browsing information, optimizing information representation, storage, document classification and clustering. The primary objective of this paper is to understand the method of using document clustering to improve their information retrieval. This paper first discussed method for clustering documents for information retrieval in easy steps by introducing various types of web/electronic repositories. Second explains the steps involved for preprocessing the documents. Second Clustering method especially k-means algorithm is discussed for clustering documents.
