Methodology for Evaluating Citation Parsing and Matching

摘要

Bibliographic references between scholarly publications con tain valuable information for researchers and developers involved with digital repositories. They are indicators of topical similarity between linked texts, impact of the referenced document, and improve navigation in user interfaces of digital libraries. Consequently, several approaches to extraction, parsing and resolving said references have been proposed to date. In this paper we develop a methodology for evaluating pars ing and matching algorithms and choosing the most appropriate one for a document collection at hand. We apply the methodology for evalu ating reference parsing and matching module of the YADDA2 software platform.
