ABSTRACT
Visual-meta is an approach to make a document's metadata equally readable by human and machine (not hidden from view), by adding an appendix to the end of the document. Based on the de facto interchange standard BibTeX, the visual-meta Appendix presents all the information needed to cite the document (author, title, date, etc.) as well as clearly stating the values of any data (such as tables, lists, advanced layouts, etc.) and glossary terms. A visual-meta aware PDF software reader will then 'read' the document and find the visual-meta appendix which it will load this into memory. This will enable advanced functionality such as copying text and pasting it as a citation in one step, without interfering with legacy PDF readers. It will also reduce the need for citation managers and increase the opportunity for development of advanced citation management systems[1], [2], [3]. The work is inspired by and supports Doug Engelbart's push for an Open Hyperdocument System with xFile [4], [5], including the embedding of metadata for the use of advanced ViewSpec on reading.

JCDL '08: Proceedings of the 8th ACM/IEEE-CS joint conference on Digital librariesBibliographic metadata plays a key role in scientific literature, not only to summarise and establish the facts of the publication record, but also to track citations between publications and hence to establish the impact of individual articles within ...

On the influence of uncited publications on a researcher’s h-index
AbstractA researcher’s output comprises cited and uncited papers. Nevertheless, the conventional h-index considers only the cited papers; and, in particular, awards a score to the so-called high-impact papers. Consequently, the h-index fails to assess the ...
