Project Scienstein
Searching and evaluating scientific publications is a time-consuming activity. Synonyms, a growing number of publications and ambiguous nomenclature impede the search for relevant documents. Sometimes nomenclature itself changes over time. Therefore, researchers using keyword-based search engines miss out documents if they do not know all relevant keywords or authors did not use the commonly known terms in their publications. Once a publication is found, the reader needs to assess its quality and credibility. Usually scientists assume a publication’s quality from the reputation of the issuing journal or the publication’s citation counts. However, citation counts as well as a journal’s reputation are not always reliable quality indicators.

In the Scienstein project, which is currently under development, existing search and recommendation engine approaches are combined and improved and new approaches are developed. Some of these newly developed approaches are advanced citation analysis, collaborative document evaluation and document usage mining. These complex possibilities are manageable via a user friendly GUI.
