EAGER: Creating a Book Citation Index

本项目将开展创新研究，展示图书引文分析在导航、分析和评估研究进展、方向和影响方面的潜力。一个有希望的结果将是与这些文件内容相关的科学和学术研究空间的综合制图。该项目还将扩展数据密集型查询，从简单的参考提取扩展到书籍中的其他结构和模式。这项工作将与美国印第安纳大学、荷兰莱顿大学和加拿大quimenbecmontrastal大学的研究人员合作进行。在实现其目标的过程中，该项目将使用新颖的方法和大规模的数据资源来探索目前在互联网时代进行的科学知识的整体结构和流动中的突出缺陷。首席研究员和他的合作者将在这个项目的过程中利用和修改各种研究小组所做的工作，以实现他们的目标。

This project will conduct innovative research to demonstrate the potential of book citation analysis in navigating, analyzing and evaluating research progress, direction and impact. A hopeful result will be a comprehensive cartography of the scientific and scholarly research space associated with the content of these documents. The project also will extend the data-intensive inquiry beyond simple reference extraction to other structures and patterns in books. This will be done in collaboration with researchers at Indiana University, Leiden University, Netherlands and L'Université du Québec à Montréal, Canada. In pursuing its goals the project will use novel methods and large-scale data resources to explore prominent shortcomings in the overall structure and flow of scientific knowledge as it now proceeds in the internet-age. The Principal Investigator and his collaborators will leverage and modify work done by a variety of research groups in the course of this project in order to achieve their goals.
