Filed:

Jun 21, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/820842

Inventors:

Jason E. Rollins - Philadelphia PA, US
Noah J. Merritt - Charlottesville VA, US

International Classification:

H04L 9/32
G06F 17/00

US Classification:

726 10

Abstract:

The present invention relates to enhanced workflow solutions for authors (e.g., researchers, scientists, and scholarly authors) and publishers (e.g., journals and professional and technical societies) in preparing documents in structured format for facilitating efficient and accurate validation of references cited or included in papers and other submissions for publication or for review. An author prepares a document containing a set of cited references using a formatting structure. A system includes a processor to process the document to extract embedded metadata associated with the set of cited references. The processor executes code associated with a reference validation software module and automatically recognizes the formatting structure and the embedded metadata. The processor automatically extracts the embedded metadata and compares the extracted metadata against an authority database to determine the validity of the set of cited references.

US Classification:

707737, 707755, 707E17089

Abstract:

The present invention comprises a system and method for automatically processing one or more citations contained within a document while the document is presented by a document rendering application. The method of the present invention comprises scanning the document to identify an unformatted citation and parsing the unformatted citation to determine one or more citation terms. One or more citation libraries are queried to find citations comprising the one or more citation terms. A citation falling within the scope of the query is selected and inserted into the document. The present invention may further provide enhanced workflow solutions for authors and publishers in preparing documents in structured format for facilitating efficient and accurate validation of references cited or included in papers and other submissions for publication or for review.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707754, 707736, 707E17059, 707E17008

Abstract:

The present invention provides systems, methods, and software for automatically processing data included in a document and identifying and recommending citations matching the processed data. The system allows a user to select and submit text segment(s) for analysis and to select from a set of recommended citations a citation(s) that matches the text segment as well as profile data for inclusion in the document. One or more citation libraries or authority databases are queried to find citations for recommendation which best match the text segment selected and submitted by the author. The system automatically processes data submitted by an author to generate a set of recommended citations for consideration and for inclusion within a document while the document is presented by a document rendering application. A selected citation is then formatted and inserted in the document.

International Classification:

G06F 17/27

US Classification:

715255

Abstract:

A multi-component software system facility matches unpublished academic manuscripts with a list or set of recommended potential “best fit” publications, e.g., journals, e.g., those publications determined most likely to accept the manuscript for publication. Upon selecting from a set of recommended publications a user may electronically upload or submit or transmit the unpublished article or work or manuscript to a target publication review and editing system. The present invention provides a client or web-based interface to effectively integrate word processor and bibliographic management software and other resources, including third-party authority databases.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707722

Abstract:

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to implementing image-based retrieval of a cited reference in a written work. A unique alphanumeric identifier extracted from an image taken of a portion of a written work can be programmatically compared to stored identifiers in an authority database in response to a request received from a portable computing device. Cited reference data can be retrieved from the authority database in response to a favorably comparison of the unique alphanumeric identifier to at least one of the stored identifiers associated with a reference stored in the authority database and the cited reference data can be provided to the portable computing device for output on the display of the portable computing device.
