Elsevier and Tsinghua University Department of Computer Science and Technology Create New Research Productivity Solutions
AMSTERDAM, January 18, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical information
products and services, has collaborated with Tsinghua University Department of Computer
Science and Technology in Beijing to introduce four new research productivity enhancing
applications for SciVerse Applications [http://www.applications.sciverse.com ].
- GeneTUKit [http://www.applications.sciverse.com/action/appDetail/298712 ]:
Recognizes gene mentions in article and abstract content within SciVerse
ScienceDirect or SciVerse Scopus and links the concepts to knowledge databases like
NCBI [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov ].
- Company Search [http://www.applications.sciverse.com/action/appDetail/297957
]: Identifies companies relevant to a SciVerse ScienceDirect search query and links
to profile information on PatentMiner [http://pminer.org/home.do?m=home ].
- Patent Search [http://www.applications.sciverse.com/action/appDetail/297954 ]:
Finds patents related to a SciVerse Hub or SciVerse ScienceDirect search query, ranks
results based on relevance and links to patents on PatentMiner
[http://pminer.org/home.do?m=home ].
- Topic Cloud [http://www.applications.sciverse.com/action/appDetail/293484 ]:
Displays top subtopics related to a SciVerse ScienceDirect query as a word cloud.
"The applications help researchers identify the hottest topics being published, find
relevant companies, patents or experts, and automatically discover genes within articles,"
said Jie Tang, Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science and Technology,
Tsinghua University.
"Our collaboration with Tsinghua University evolved from an initial concept a year ago
to the thriving relationship it is today, and it continues to yield new tools for
enhancing research productivity," said Rafael Sidi, Vice President, Application
Marketplace and Developer Network at Elsevier. "We look forward to continued
collaboration."
Elsevier began collaborating in late 2010 with Associate Professor Jie Tang at the
Department of Computer Science and Technology at Tsinghua University to develop Expert
Search
[http://www.applications.sciverse.com/action/appDetail/292647?zone=main&pageOrigin=home&activity=display ]
, an application that identifies computer science experts through
Arnetminer [http://arnetminer.org ], followed by the development of the Company Search,
Patent Search and Topic Cloud applications. Elsevier partnered with Assistant Professor
Minlie Huang to create the GeneTUKit application.
The ongoing collaboration has also led to the launch of the China Science Challenge
[http://www.chinasciencechallenge.com/?lang=en ], an online competition open to university
students to develop solutions that help researchers in their research tasks.
