Using author-specified keywords in building an initial reading list of research papers in scientific paper retrieval and recommender systems

作者:

Highlights:

• The requirements for the task of building an initial reading list in literature review are re-conceptualized and a novel retrieval technique centered on author-specified keywords of papers is proposed for this task.

• The HITS variant of the proposed technique best satisfies the requirements of the task in an offline evaluation experiment.

• The proposed technique is evaluated by 132 researchers using 14 evaluation measures in a user evaluation study.

• Relevance, Recency and Usefulness were identified as the measures with high agreement percentages from participants.

• Students group were more satisfied with the results than staff group.

• Three predictors for user satisfaction were identified through the evaluation study.
