Project Idea

The Referency project was designed and implemented to assist researchers in monitoring and managing citations within documents in an organized manner. It addressed a long-standing need for a smart solution to the chaotic handling of citations.

By bringing order to this process, the referency tool gave researchers the capability firstly to extract citations from any document; secondly to verify them reliably through authoritative sources; and finally to review the gathered information effectively.

Team

  • Software Engineer
  • Operations & Communication Manager

Chaos meets clarity through deep-tech design.

Activities

  • Processes and methods establishment with the community. Define a curated corpus and also define metrics to evaluate the product.
  • Development of novel algorithms to extract information from footnotes using known citation patterns.
  • Develop an extendable core to allow any external repository to be easily configured and used as a reference.
  • Develop of a progressive web application to allow the users to upload files and enrich the information found using multiple external repositories.

 

Goal

The Referency Tools was published as an open source smart tool for assisting the Academia.
