In this article we present a method to recommend articles scientists taking into account their degree of generality or specificity. In terms of methodology, two approaches are presented to recommend articles based on Topic Modeling. The first of these is based on the divergence of topics that are given in the documents, while the second is based on the similarity between these topics. After a validation process it was demonstrated that the proposed methods are more efficient than the traditional methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
