Reviewing scientific literature is a cumbersome, time consuming but crucial activity in research. Leveraging a scholarly knowledge graph, we present a methodology and a system for comparing scholarly literature, in particular research contributions describing the addressed problem, utilized materials, employed methods and yielded results. The system can be used by researchers to quickly get familiar with existing work in a specific research domain (e.g., a concrete research question or hypothesis). Additionally, it can be used to publish literature surveys following the FAIR Data Principles. The methodology to create a research contribution comparison consists of multiple tasks, specifically: (a) finding similar contributions, (b) aligning contribution descriptions, (c) visualizing and finally (d) publishing the comparison. The methodology is implemented within the Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG), a scholarly infrastructure that enables researchers to collaboratively describe, find and compare research contributions. We evaluate the implementation using data extracted from published review articles. The evaluation also addresses the FAIRness of comparisons published with the ORKG.
翻译:审查科学文献是一项繁琐、耗时但至关重要的研究活动。我们利用一个学术知识图表,提出一种方法和系统来比较学术文献,特别是描述所处理问题的研究意见、使用的材料、采用的方法和产生的结果;研究人员可以利用该系统迅速熟悉特定研究领域的现有工作(例如具体的研究问题或假设);此外,可以利用该系统出版根据FAIR数据原则进行的文献调查;建立研究贡献比较的方法包括多种任务,特别是:(a) 寻找类似的贡献,(b) 协调贡献说明,(c) 可视化和最后(d) 公布比较,该方法在开放研究知识图(OKG)内实施,这是一个学术基础设施,使研究人员能够合作描述、查找和比较研究贡献。我们利用从发表的评论文章中提取的数据评价执行情况。评价还涉及与ORKG比较出版的FAIR性质。
