Open science is increasingly important in academia. This paper investigates the citations using URLs, used to reference research resources in scholarly papers, and their potential as metadata sources for data repositories. A dataset of URL citations extracted from scholarly papers in natural language processing is analyzed. We first examine trends in locations and frequency of URL citations over time, then classify the types of research resources and their citation purposes. Furthermore, we assess the usability of URL citations for automatic metadata generation in data repositories. Specifically, we explore how many metadata records can be added and how much the metadata fields can be enriched. Our findings suggest that URL citations offer a promising approach for enhancing metadata quality and availability in data repositories.

摘要

Open science is increasingly important in academia. This paper investigates the citations using URLs, used to reference research resources in scholarly papers, and their potential as metadata sources for data repositories. A dataset of URL citations extracted from scholarly papers in natural language processing is analyzed. We first examine trends in locations and frequency of URL citations over time, then classify the types of research resources and their citation purposes. Furthermore, we assess the usability of URL citations for automatic metadata generation in data repositories. Specifically, we explore how many metadata records can be added and how much the metadata fields can be enriched. Our findings suggest that URL citations offer a promising approach for enhancing metadata quality and availability in data repositories.
