Syracuse University (Syracuse University, School of Information Studies)

Syracuse University will use this Early Career award to build the Citation Opinion Retrieval and Analysis (CORA) tool. The tool will help researchers get citation statements about published literature and will help them analyze and classify citations to assist and expedite research. The tool can plug into a full-text bibliographic database and will save librarians and researchers time when trying to find useful comments from large collections of citations. CORA will also contribute a new approach for assessing research impact and help monitor the quality of scientific publications by making it easier to identify citation bias and inaccuracy. The project supports one doctoral student and hourly graduate students to assist with project research and development.
