Merging the citations received by arXiv-deposited e-prints and their corresponding published journal articles: Problems and perspectives

作者:

Highlights:

• Some bibliographic databases try to merge citations, but do so inadequately.

• We design corresponding citation merging schemes for arXiv-deposited articles.

• We investigated 2,662 e-prints in the “Digital Libraries” subject in arXiv.org

• We use empirical testing to prove the feasibility of schemes proposed in this paper.

• This is the first study to systematically explore the citation merging of articles.
