An up to date dataset of most cited authors and publications

摘要

Literature review is an essential phase in any research work. However, it is tricky and time consuming. A web application that provides most cited authors and publications related to a research field would be of a significant support to researchers when conducting their review work. The aim of this paper is to propose an approach that combines data accessible via the available academic search engine APIs and the rich and constantly up to date knowledge bases that is part of the linked data cloud.
