Abstract

Semantic tags can enrich citation graphs by inter-connecting papers with citation reasons. One of the best sources of knowledge to tell the reason for citation is the author himself. Integrating these reasons in an authoring system can help authors to choose a reason while citing. We examined various Human and Automatic authoring systems for integration of citation reasons. However, to the best of our knowledge, no such system exists that facilities authors to integrate the reasons while citing. Same is the case with Cite Packages. This research proposes integration of CCRO:Citations’ Context and Reasons Ontology’s (Ihsan and Qadir, 2019) taxonomic hierarchy of reasons within document. We have developed a CCRO Package to semantically tag citations with reasons and to create an intra-discourse relation between research articles. Furthermore, embedding these structures within RDF Data Store enables the creation of knowledge graphs that become a foundation artifact for the Semantic & Scientific Discourse.

Highlights

T HE reason to write any scientific scholarly document is to advance the accumulated knowledge in a verifiable way
The solution relies on enriching scientific publications with explicit rhetorical and argumentation discourse structures, using ontology by identifying and classifying citation texts within LATEX files
OUR CONTRIBUTIONS To meet the requirements of Semantic Publishing Ecosystem and overcome the challenges, we develop SEAL, a Semantically Enriched Authoring in LATEX framework to support citation reason annotation while authoring a research paper

Summary

Introduction

T HE reason to write any scientific scholarly document is to advance the accumulated knowledge in a verifiable way. Authors communicate this knowledge through literature review to form and present scientific claims along with their justifications. The most common method adopted by the authors to form the discourse and express in a document is via citation. Many researchers have discussed the rhetorical and argumentative nature of such discourse in the past by providing insights into why authors cite specific research and a need for a semantic-based research paper authoring tool that can help an author to choose semantic and meaningful tags for citation [24]. The scientific community either use LATEX or traditional processing systems for authoring research papers.
