Abstract

Several general-purpose databases of research papers are available, including ScienceDirect and Google Scholar. However, these systems may not include recent papers from workshops or conferences for special interest groups. Moreover, it can be helpful for researchers in a particular domain to analyze research papers using their own terminology. To support these researchers, we propose a new database system based on the information extracted from portable document format documents that enables annotation of terms via a terminology extraction system. In this paper, we evaluate our system using a use-case experiment and discuss the appropriateness of the system.

    ScienceDirect previously had an image-retrieval feature using captions (https://www.elsevier.com/about/press-releases/science-and-technology/elsevier-releases-image-search-new-sciverse-sciencedirect-feature-enables-researchers-to-quickly-find-reliable-visual-content). However, this image-retrieval feature does not exist on the current version.
