Abstract

Most researchers establish research directions in their study of new fields by providing expert advice or publishing expert papers. The existing academic search services display papers by field but do not provide experts by field. Therefore, researchers are left to judge experts in each field by analyzing the papers for themselves. In this paper, we design and implement an expert search system based on papers that have been published in the academic societies. The academic expert search system is based on a big data processing system to handle a large amount of data in academic fields. It calculates an expert score using quality and influence factors. The quality factor is calculated based on the citations, impact factor, and recentness of a paper. The influence factor is measured by the sparsity of a field and the degree of contributiveness of an author. The proposed system provides various services such as expert searches, keyword searches, the hot topics, expert relationships, and academic society statistics. By finding experts in a specific field, our system can support researchers’ research activities.
