Yeah, i was thinking "huh, I guess you could build a Markov model to figure out a string of keywords that leads to a given citation, then auto-insert for the author". All you would need to do is tell it to load a certain database/package for a given research area.
Given how many papers are online you could quite "easily" build up a nice little database. Add in some checks for quality and you've got yourself something that can make a reasonable guess for you. You would probably want some way to stop it from adding incorrect citations, but other than it would probably generally help.
- jrochkind1 7y agoAs long as you citing things you haven't actually read is considered good practice (hint: Turns out it is!). I think it's probably harder to do this tech than you think; on the other hand, I am continually amazed at the acceptance of throwing whatever citations you haven't read that you want in, so the bar may be low.
