Citation-Based Methods for Personalized Search in Digital Libraries.

In this paper we present our work about personalized search in digital libraries. Unlike other researches which use content-based methods, we focus on citation-based methods for this purpose. We propose a practical approach to estimate the co-citation relatedness between scientific papers using the Google search engine. We conducted some experiments to evaluate performance of different citation-based methods. The experimental results show that our approach is promising and applicable for personalized search in digital libraries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
