In contrast to automatic technology\u2010generated recommender systems, this paper aims to use dynamic expert groups that are automatically formed to recommend domain\u2010specific documents for general users. In addition, it aims to test several effectiveness measures of rank order to determine if the top\u2010ranked lists recommended by the experts were reliable.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>In the approach, expert groups evaluate web documents to provide a recommender system for general users. The authority and make\u2010up of the expert group are adjusted through user feedback. The system also uses various measures to gauge the difference between the opinions of experts and those of general users to improve the evaluation effectiveness.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>The proposed system is efficient when there is major support from experts and general users.
