Abstract

In this demonstration we show the Bibliographic Exploration tool BIBEX. BIBEX is based on the graph database query engine DEX and integrates both the Citeseer and DBLP databases. BIBEX can be found in our web site at www.dama.upc.edu/bibex. BIBEX allows for complex bibliographic search and shows the results of its queries as a combination of graphs and text for two types of scenarios: scientists who want to do complex bibliographic search, and PC members and journal editors who want to have an aid to search best suited reviewers that do not have conflicts of interest with the authors of papers submitted for review. The tool allows to explore the relation between authors, keywords and papers in such a way that a user may perform a complex bibliographic search to investigate the who is who in specific areas of research.
