The project aims to automate the process of generating relevant citations for a given text and conducting literature review for researchers.
As a researcher, it is often necessary to substantiate one's statements with existing literature by providing relevant citations. This can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process, particularly when searching for citations that are both relevant and up-to-date. Moreover, literature review can be slow, making it difficult to write and publish research papers in a timely manner. Additionally, while researchers may have past knowledge on a topic, linking it to the existing literature can be a challenging task, especially when searching for the relevant citations manually.
To solve these problems, we propose a tool that uses both semantic and AI search techniques to generate relevant citations for a given text. The tool searches the Crossref database using a combination of text-based queries and extracted keywords to identify relevant literature. The search results are then ranked based on their relevance score, which is generated using AI techniques. The most relevant citations are presented to the user in a user-friendly format, allowing them to quickly and easily review the literature and add relevant citations to their research paper. With this tool, researchers can save time and effort by quickly finding and selecting relevant citations, improving their research process, and enabling them to publish their work more efficiently. Additionally, the tool can aid researchers in identifying new research areas by surfacing relevant literature, helping them stay up-to-date with the latest developments in their field.
