Review assessment support in Open Journal System using TextRank

Abstract

Abstract. In this paper, a review assessment support in Open Journal System (OJS) using TextRank is proposed. OJS is an open-source journal management platform that provides a streamlined journal publishing workflow. TextRank is an unsupervised, graph-based ranking model commonly used as extractive auto summarization of text documents. This study applies the TextRank algorithm to summarize 50 article reviews from an OJS-based international journal. The resulting summaries are formed using the most representative sentences extracted from the reviews. The summaries are then used to help OJS editors in assessing a review's quality.
