Abstract

Scientific literature has become easily accessible by now but a comprehensive analysis of the contents and interrelationships between research papers is often missing. Therefore, a time consuming bibliographical analysis is usually performed by scientists before they can really start their research. This manual process includes the identification of the most important research trends, major papers, auspicious approaches, established conference series as well as the search for most active groups for a specific research topic. In addition, scientists have to collect related academic literature for avoiding reinvention of already published results. Although a large number of literature management systems have been developed in order to support researchers in these tasks, the offered analysis of bibliographical data is still quite limited. In this paper, we identify some of the missing analysis features and show how they could be implemented using data about author affiliations, reference relations and additional metadata, automatically generated from a set of research articles. The resulting prototypical implementation indicates the way towards the design of a general and extendible bibliographic analysis system.
