“…A more common way to explore publications uses a journal-level approach, that is, browsing through a specific outlet’s table of contents, either in print or digitally (an experience that can be enhanced through RSS feeds, email alerts or APIs). Some platforms aggregate such tables of contents from a greater set of journals; examples include Current Contents and JournalTOCs and other so-called Current Awareness Services [41]. Once a specific research domain defines that set of journals, we have discipline-based platforms such as those narrowed down to Criminology (e.g.…”

There has been a proliferation of new research discovery tools that aid scientists in finding relevant publications. To obtain a general overview of this development, this article generates a conceptual typology of all possible research discovery tools by drawing from the information-theoretical concepts of redundancy/variety. Bibliometric links between scholarly publications can thus exhibit ‘redundancy’ (i.e. expectable linkages between academic works) or ‘variety’ (i.e. original co-occurrence patterns). On the redundancy-reproducing end of the typology are machines that harness extant co-citations or keyword queries, such as academic search engines and paper recommender systems. The variety end of the spectrum harbours services that enable categorial browsing or that suggest publications randomly, such as journals’ tables of contents or random paper bots. The typology has implications for understanding how the design of research discovery platforms may ultimately shape aggregate citational networks of science.
