Text mining and summarization technologies can help researchers in 3 key ways: 1) By systematically screening the large volume of literature in their field to quickly assess relevance and quality of papers. 2) By providing quick informative overviews and summaries of academic papers in bullet points highlighting limitations to save researchers time. 3) By extracting references, figures, tables and datasets to allow researchers to analyze information in more depth and follow citation trails more efficiently.
Warren-Jones "Using text-mining and summarisation technology to manage the growth in published and unpublished research"
- 1. 1 How researchers are using text mining and summarization technology
- 2. 2 Retrieving the most relevant material from an expanding range of sources: research papers, conference proceedings, theses, reports, book chapters & datasets Quickly assessing the value and trustworthiness of a paper. Effectively filtering research in environment of increased use of mobile devices, and diminishing time available for focused research. Effectively promoting their work and building their profile in an increasingly crowded space. The challenge for researchers
- 3. 3 Publishing scientists growing at a rate of 4-5% annually 300% increase in the number of preprint servers since 2015 The research keeps growing Published work and preprints 5% 300% 56% Global growth of published articles (2006-16)
- 4. 4 “I make the effort to read (OK, skim) papers each week, but I confess that I have given up searching databases and preprint servers. There is just too much content published and no easy way to find things that are both high quality and relevant, even using keywords.” Oliver A. H. Jones RMIT University, Melbourne.
- 5. 5 How text mining can help researchers. Systematically screen the large volume of literature in their field. Get quick, informative overviews of academic papers. Extract references and follow the citation trail. Extract figure and tabular data to analyse in more depth. 1 2 3 4 5 Effectively promote research and build their profile.
- 6. 6 Screening the literature • Abstracts vary in quality, can misrepresent article • Does the article meet key quality criteria? • One-click access to study participants, methods and findings
- 7. 7 Quick, informative summaries • Bullet-point summary, identification of any limitations • Flashcard containing information in bite-sized chunks
- 8. 8 Follow the citation trail • Verifying citations for quality (CrossRef/scite.ai confirmation) • Verifying citation context/findings • Access to full-text of cited sources
- 9. 9 Analyse in more depth • Researchers often prefer to jump straight to the figures, tables, and datasets • Not easy to do this with PDF preprints • Scholarcy distils the PDF to provide one-click access to these in a flashcard format
- 10. 10 Promote research University of Manchester OpenAccess+ social media promotion via Twitter: • Scholarcy-assisted summary • Altmetric mentions • @ Funders • @ interested researchers
