A new approach is proposed that contemplates systems and methods to identify trending objects that are targets of citations without actually conducting a search. Under the approach, a score is accumulated for each object as a function of the count of citations and influence of the citing subjects/sources/authors within a given time period starting from the timestamp of the earliest citation of the object. A threshold on the score can be predicted or predetermined, which only a certain number but not all of objects are able to exceed. The objects which scores exceed the said threshold are then identified as trending objects within its relevant categories without actually conducting a search and without having to wait for the given time period to be concluded. Finally, a list of top-ranking objects that have been identified is generated and presented to the user. |
