Abstract

This paper introduces Scienstein, the first hybrid research paper recommender system and a powerful alternative to currently used academic search engines. Scienstein improves the approach of the usually used keyword-based search by combining it with citation analysis, author analysis, source analysis, implicit ratings, explicit ratings and in addition, innovative and yet unused methods like the ‘Distance Similarity Index’ (DSI) and the ‘In-text Impact Factor’ (ItIF). Instead of entering just keywords, a user may provide entire documents, including reference lists as input and make implicit and explicit ratings to improve recommendations. With citation, author and source analysis, similar and related documents are easily determinable. All these techniques are managed by a user-friendly GUI.
