Perceived value of scholarly articles

Encoding Lineage in Scholarly Articles

The development of new scientific concepts today is an outcome of the accumulated knowledge built over time. Every scientific domain requires understanding of the trends of the dependencies between its subdomains. Analyses of trends to capture such dependencies using conventional document modeling techniques is a challenging task due to two reasons: (1) conventional vector-space modeling based ...

Finding and Recommending Scholarly Articles

The rate at which scholarly literature is being produced, similar to the rate at which all things of economic value (as measured by world GDP) are being produced, has been increasing at approximately 3.5% per year for decades (estimated using data from the World Bank and the Web of Science).

Characterising Citations in Scholarly Articles: An Experiment

This work presents some experiments in letting humans annotate citations according to CiTO, an OWL ontology for describing the function of citations. We introduce a comparison of the performance of different users, and show strengths and difficulties that emerged when using that particular model to characterise citations of scholarly articles.

A Comprehensive Survey of Retracted Articles from the Scholarly Literature

BACKGROUND The number of retracted scholarly articles has risen precipitously in recent years. Past surveys of the retracted literature each limited their scope to articles in PubMed, though many retracted articles are not indexed in PubMed. To understand the scope and characteristics of retracted articles across the full spectrum of scholarly disciplines, we surveyed 42 of the largest bibliogr...
