When reading a scholarly article, inline citations help researchers contextualize the current article and discover relevant prior work. However, it can be challenging to prioritize and make sense of the hundreds of citations encountered during literature reviews. This paper introduces CiteSee, a paper reading tool that leverages a user's publishing, reading, and saving activities to provide personalized visual augmentations and context around citations. First, CiteSee connects the current paper to familiar contexts by surfacing known citations a user had cited or opened. Second, CiteSee helps users prioritize their exploration by highlighting relevant but unknown citations based on saving and reading history. We conducted a lab study that suggests CiteSee is significantly more effective for paper discovery than three baselines. A field deployment study shows CiteSee helps participants keep track of their explorations and leads to better situational awareness and increased paper discovery via inline citation when conducting real-world literature reviews.
翻译：在阅读学术文章时,在线引用有助于研究人员了解当前文章的背景并发现先前的相关工作。然而,对文献审查中遇到的数百条引文进行优先排序和理解可能具有挑战性。本文介绍了利用用户出版、阅读和保存活动提供个性化视觉放大和引文背景的纸质阅读工具CiteSe。首先,CiteSe通过浏览已知引用或打开的引文,将当前论文与熟悉背景联系起来。第二,CiteSe帮助用户通过根据保存和阅读历史突出相关但未知引文来优先进行探索。我们进行了一项实验室研究,表明CiteSee对纸质发现比三个基线更有效。实地部署研究显示,CiteSe帮助参与者跟踪其探索情况,并在进行现实世界文献审查时通过在线引用提高对情况的认识和增加纸质发现。
