CiteSeer
The CiteSeer Scientific Literature Digital Library (German digital library of scientific literature ) is a search engine and citation database for freely accessible scientific information on the Internet.
It comprises over 720,000 documents, mainly on the subject areas of computer and information science . Many of the publications can be downloaded as free PDF documents. The special thing about CiteSeer is that the referenced literature is linked.
CiteSeer was developed at the " NEC Research Institute" (Princeton, USA) and is now operated by Pennsylvania State University .
The areas of responsibility of CiteSeer include:
- Scientific article localization
- Indexing in full text (HTML, PDF, Postscript)
- Indexing of literature references ( Science Citation Index )
- Find duplicates
- Analysis of citations and links to scientific articles
The name CiteSeer is a play on words. A sightseer is a tourist who looks at sights ( sightseeing ). A cite-seer would be someone who looks at cited documents.
According to the developers, CiteSeer is reaching the limits of its capabilities, so a beta version of the "Next Generation CiteSeer" or CiteSeer x is currently being tested.
Since November 2013 CiteSeerX has been indexed by the scientific search engine BASE .
