Development of science and academic knowledge has led to changes in academic language and transfer of information and knowledge. In this regard, the present study is an attempt to investigate lexico-grammaticality in academic abstracts and their full research papers in Linguistics, Chemistry and Electrical engineering papers published during 1991-2015 in academic journals from a diachronic pers...

[THIS ARTICLE IS RETRACTED] Plagiarism refers to “adopting someone else’s words, work or ideas and passing them off as one’s own”. It is potentially considered as the most prevalent form of scientific dishonesty discovered in research papers. The present review aims to provide a thorough account of plagiarism to build awareness about all dimensions of plagiarism.The key...

This paper synthesizes the actions performed in order to transform a classic scientific research journal - 'Annals. Computer Science Series' - available only in printed form until 2008, into a modern e-journal with free access to the full text of the articles. For achieving this goal, the research papers have been included in various article databases, portals and library catalogs which offered...

The importance of writing well can never be overstated for a successful professional career, and the ability to write solid papers is an essential trait of a productive researcher. Writing and publishing a paper has its own life cycle; properly following a course of action and avoiding missteps can be vital to the overall success not only of a paper but of the underlying research as well. Here,...

The difficulty faced (by many) in reading a large fraction of the scientific literature is not, as is generally perceived, due to the complexity of scientific concepts, but is due to these difficult-to-read documents being poorly written. Scientific documents, however, need not be difficult to read, or even to write. In the rest of this article, we attempt to provide some insight into what goes...

‘Which are the pedestrian detectors that yield a precision above 95% at 25% recall?’ Answering such a complex query involves identifying and analyzing the results reported in figures within several research papers. Despite the availability of excellent academic search engines, retrieving such information poses a cumbersome challenge today as these systems have primarily focused on understanding...

An effective way to reveal the contents of research papers is assigning a group of terms against a controlled vocabulary. To the best of our knowledge, a variety of automatic indexing techniques have been studied to enhance the effectiveness and the efficiency. However, the current approaches depended on the content of a research paper, such as title, abstract, etc., which suffering from limita...

We describe a new annotation scheme for formalizing relation structures in research papers. The scheme has been developed through the investigation of computer science papers. Using the scheme, we are building a Japanese corpus to help develop information extraction systems for digital libraries. We report on the outline of the annotation scheme and on annotation experiments conducted on resear...
