Collaborations

Collaboration with:: Centre for Science and Technology Studies, University of Leiden
Country:: Netherlands
Description:: Collaboration in the context of the "The Open Biomedical Citations in Context Corpus" funded by the Wellcome Trust (grant permalink: https://wellcome.ac.uk/funding/open-research-fund-applications-submitted). The main aim of the project is to make the OpenCitations Corpus (OCC) more useful to the academic community by significantly expanding the kinds of citation data held within the Corpus, so as to provide data for each individual in-text reference and its semantic context, making it possible to distinguish references that are cited only once from those that are cited multiple times, to see which references are cited together (e.g. in the same sentence), to determine in which section of the article references are cited (e.g. Introduction, Methods), and, potentially, to retrieve the function of the citation.
