That's what CiteSeer was supposed to do, unfortunately they quit halfway there.

- FrojoS 14y agoSo, what you are saying is, that it doesn't exist? Why is no one building this? I understand, that there is less demand than for web search. But there still is a lot of demand from smart and skilled people, no?
- ArbitraryLimits 14y agoIt's a question of academic paywalls. If all journal papers were freely available it would have been done by now.
- FrojoS 14y agoThx for your reply. Makes sense. Other than abstracts, the reference are usually behind a pay wall. But how does, e.g. Google Scholar estimate the number of citations? Do they only look at papers which are not behind a pay wall or do they buy a subscription to all journals? It still buggles my mind, that the science loving google founders Larry and Brian haven't tackled this yet.
