Abstract.We have proposed an idea to predict citation-reasons between scientific papers with machine-learning techniques, and try to narrow down the search range for relevant papers based on the citation-reasons. However, the machine-learning method seems not accurate enough according to a subject experiment. In this paper, as a substitution of the machine-learning method, we have proposed a strategy to annotate citation-reasons between papers in a crowdsourcing manner. An analysis on the result has shown the effectiveness of our strategy and some future tasks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
