CiteSeer Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
CiteSeer, in the past known as ResearchIndex, is a public specialty search engine and digital library created by researchers at the NEC Research Institute (now NEC Labs), Princeton, NJ, USA. CiteSeer crawls for and harvests academic scientific documents and uses autonomous citation indexing to permit querying by citation or by document. Currently, it is available on the World Wide Web at the School of Information Sciences and Technology, The Pennsylvania State University and has over 700,000 documents, primarily in the fields of computer and information science and engineering. It has recently been extended to academic documents in business, SmealSearch, and in e-business, eBizSearch. CiteSeer also freely provides Open Archives Initiative metadata of all indexed documents.CiteSeer's goal is to improve the dissemination and access of academic and scientific literature. As a non-profit service that can be freely used by anyone, it is an example of the democratization of scientific knowledge and the Open Access movement that is revolutionizing academic and scientific publishing and scientific literature access.
The name is at least partially a wordplay. A 'seer' is a prophet of sorts, in this case about citations to publications.
