CiteSeerX
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CiteSeerx is a public search engine and digital library for scientific and academic papers with a focus on computer and information sciences. It is loosely based on the previous CiteSeer search engine and digital library and is built with a new open source infrastructure, SeerSuite, and new algorithms and their implementations. It was developed by researchers Dr. Isaac Councill and Dr. C. Lee Giles at the College of Information Sciences and Technology, Pennsylvania State University. It continues to support the goals outlined by CiteSeer to actively crawl and harvest academic and scientific documents on the web and to use a citation index to permit query by citations and ranking of documents by the impact of citations. In addition CiteSeerX attempts to provide resources such as algorithms, data, metadata, services, techniques, and software that can be used to promote other digital libraries.
