[ Citation Search ]

I have scripted a "hacked" search engine for searching the citations provided by Dr. Les Carr's spotcites program.

This is based on a MySQL database of the abstract data, authorship (author * paper ref) and citations (paper ref * cited paper). You can search for citations by paper reference, or partial reference and by author, or partial author. Authors are stored by area:authorname, this is to try and prevent the occurences of different people being bundled together by the same name.

Errors:

  • The citation data only includes citations that can be extracted from papers in arXiv, therefore the number of citations that are found are likely to be less and weighted towards arXiv papers
  • There are two special syntaxes of paper references "err-" and "noerr-", these refer, respectively, to references with an invalid subject area and a reference with a invalid number. Some of these errors are because I did not compute the citation list with a complete list of subject areas (e.g. adap-org).
  • The citation data is more up-to-date than the meta-data, so you may not be able to obtain meta data/authorship for some referenced papers
