Wouldn't that be a cool firefox plugin? Highlight text and click "Find Original Research." Opens a new tab/window and shows search result for key terms.

- jacquesm 17y agoThat would be very neat indeed, the problem would be to figure out what the 'original research' was in the midst of lots of fluff around it. Plenty of times articles will be 10% citations from the original but ranking higher in google because they don't link to the original stuff but do get linked themselves. If you could crack that though it would be awesome.

How many of those would put you close enough to the original research that you wouldn't care to dig deeper?
- jacquesm 17y agoProbably the easiest would be to work with a blacklist for 'popular' science publications and blogs, and a whitelist for places where original research would be published. The 'elsevier' link would be the only one left from that page then, and that's the real deal. This starts to look like it is a really nice weekend project. Anybody have experience with writing browser plug ins ? Greasemonkey script even maybe ?
