Notes from the "Fun With Citations" Session
No direct quote for this meme.
Notes:
These are general notes summarizing comments from audience members and speakers for this session:
- Taking pdfs extracting text and semantically marking them up, hyperlinking reference lists to their source articles.
- Mendeley http://www.mendeley.com/
- http://www.mendeley.com/research-papers/computer-and-information-science/
- Citations have no meaning the way we use them now.
- Most papers aren’t cited, long tail graph (zitiny ziphian curve graph?)
- Citation Graph, collaborative filtering,.
- Citations need context. How will that happen? Need to know why something was cited (ie. Disagreement).
- We don’t disagree with papers, we disagree with claims made in papers. Why can’t a citation point at a place in the article?
- Question: Is reference extraction beyond the scope of any non-commercial company? Mendeley is a company.
- Answer: There’s no single source of open bibliographic data.
- Sage, SocialSciences,Crossref, webofscience, google scholar, etc – how useful are these sites. They provide metrics and recommendations, but not much more than going directly to the journal.
- Social Networking in article recommendations, connect content to people, conversations around papers, systems don’t encourage conversations, people don’t want to participate.
- Criticism of Mendeley: algorithms shoudl be open, academics should be able to define their own algorithms
- Mendeley's plan is to extract reference data and make it publicly available and machine readable.
- Criticism: academics need an open bibliographic data set.
- Need to explain type of citation: positive vs. negative citations, valence terms, sentiment analysis/machine vs. human curated
- Ontologies don't capture all reasons someone is citing something (ie. "Cited because I work for this journal." "Cited because Darwin will make you think I'm smart." "Cited because teacher required five citations.")
- References are separated into their own section, removing them from the text. Unlike links, which are immediate.
- Peer Review: example of a reviewer rejecting a paper because it didn't cite his own paper.
- People need to make use of the REL attribute in HREF tags.
- Citations can be used in a tribal sens, citing people in our camp and excluding others.
- Description of citations as "frozen footprints in the snow"
- Why do we need 1,000 citation styles?
- Librarian: Questions about citations styles from students are constant and frustrating.
- Orchid: cross-company effort to standardize citations.
- Let people write citations however they want, but add an identifying number.
- Mendeley is developing an open-source citation style editor.
