EAGER: Creating a Book Citation Index

该项目将进行创新研究，展示图书引文分析在引导、分析和评估研究进展、方向和影响方面的潜力。 一个充满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全面制图。 该项目还将把数据密集型查询扩展到简单的参考文献提取之外，扩展到书籍中的其他结构和模式。 这项工作将与印第安纳大学、荷兰莱顿大学和加拿大魁北克大学蒙特利尔分校的研究人员合作完成。 为了实现其目标，该项目将使用新颖的方法和大规模数据资源来探索当今互联网时代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利用和修改本项目过程中各个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.
