Systems and methods for indentifying documents based on citation history

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer-executable instructions described herein generally relate to increasing user productivity in reviewing query results by surfacing a set of documents ranked by their relative value calculated as a tabulation of how often they are cited for a specific purpose. A database management system can access an index of metadata corresponding to a set of content items in a corpus/corpora of electronically stored content. A sub-system is configured to receive a query request entered by a user in said interactive GUI. A computer machine is configured to receive said query as computer machine input; automatically determine at least one concept contained within said query; automatically normalize said at least one concept contained within said query thus creating at least one normalized concept; automatically compare said at least one normalized concept to a set of metadata comprising at least one document centric concept profile associated with said set of content items in said corpora; and automatically surface a set of documents, comprising at least one first document, matching said document centric concept profile via said GUI wherein said set of documents are ranked according to a reference value assigned to each document for a normalized concept.
