EAGER: Creating a Book Citation Index

该项目将进行创新研究，以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的内容有关的科学和学术研究空间的全面制图。 该项目还将扩展数据密集型调查，超越简单的参考文献提取，以其他结构和模式的书籍。 这项工作将与印第安纳州大学、荷兰莱顿大学和加拿大蒙特利尔魁北克大学的研究人员合作进行。 在实现其目标的过程中，该项目将使用新的方法和大规模的数据资源，探索在互联网时代科学知识的整体结构和流动中的突出缺点。主要研究者和他的合作者将利用和修改在本项目过程中由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.
