This paper provides an in-depth review of the literature on citation impact indicators. First, an overview is given of the literature on bibliographic databases that can be used to calculate citati...

We consider the problem of scientific literature search, and we suggest that citation relations between publications can be very helpful in the systematic retrieval of scientific literature. We introduce a new software tool called CitNetExplorer that can be used for citation-based scientific literature retrieval. To demonstrate the use of CitNetExplorer, we employ the tool to identify publicati...

Topic Modeling refers to a suit of algorithms that gives us an insight of the ‘latent’ semantic topics or themes in a collection of documents. This survey provides a brief classification of different topic modeling techniques and an introductory overview of the most popular topic modeling technique LDA (latent Dirichlet Allocation) and some of its extensions. This survey also summarizes few app...
